Journey to the West from Daqin

Kong Jie's lips were chapped, and he said: "This old man would rather defend the Tao with death to show his determination, you don't need to persuade him."

Liu Junshou looked at Li Jue, explained bitterly, and said, "Master Shu, there is nothing I can do about this matter. They won't eat or leave. If they take them away by force, the people outside will make trouble."

Li Jue patted him on the shoulder, then came to Kong Jie, and kicked all the jobs in front of them.

Immediately.

The Confucians were furious and accused Li Jue one after another.

Only Kong Jie remained calm, while Li Jue smiled, "I am quite confident, it seems that three days and three nights of hunger is not enough."

Everyone criticized one after another, but Li Jue pointed at Kong Jie and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"You often flaunt justice, and say you are scholars. You are not bullshit. You are Confucian scholars who are useless."

All the Confucians were shocked and extremely angry.

Kong Jie also spoke, and said in an old voice: "Is the chief minister here to mock the old man? If so, you are wasting your time in vain. We will not be angry, but stick to our hearts."

Li Jue said: "You think the emperor definitely needs you to write sacrificial rites, so you want to bargain and get more right to speak."

"vulgar!"

He taunted: "Papers, all of you present together are not as good as me alone; in terms of force, the old master has heard of Sword Saint Gai Nie? He has already recognized me as the master."

Kong Jie hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Are you here to show off?"

Li Jue said: "That's right, I'm here to show off, let me tell you. Anyone can write the sacrificial oration, not just you."

"My literary talent is still above yours, and my calligraphy is far above yours. I am more suitable than you when I write."

Kong Jie snorted coldly: "If that's the case, why don't you write it? Whoever loves to do such a thing with bowed eyebrows will do it."

Li Jue laughed, and said: "Whoever asked the emperor to ask an official to do it back then, couldn't do it anymore, so he slapped his ass and ran away!"

Kong Jie blushed and said nothing.

Li Jue continued: "You have done a lot of things like bowing your eyebrows and bowing your waist. Old Master Confucius, I will give you a choice. Go to Mount Tai to write sacrificial rites. That is to contribute to Confucianism and ease the conflict with the royal family."

"I'm here to help you, not to harm you. If I want to harm you, then with my literary talents, I can write a few poems casually and spread them all over the world, and I can discredit your Confucianism."

Kong Jie was really startled when he heard this.

This is their patent, how dare Li Jue do it.

and.

Li Jue really has this ability, whether it is power or talent, it is enough to ruin them.

And the Confucianists care about reputation the most, that is worse than killing them.

Chapter 270 Seven Coercion and Profit to Lure Confucianism

Li Jue threatened and lured, and lowered his voice: "I heard that there are unicorns in Mount Tai. If you really want to get the approval of the destiny, you can write a unicorn article and attract qilin to vote, wouldn't it be easier to succeed!?"

To be honest, Kong Jie was already moved.

Li Jue's tricks are really too powerful, intimidating and tempting, he understands it with emotion and moves with reason.

The most important thing is that Li Jue's words are reasonable and convincing, what he threatened can be done, and what he promised is also very possible.

In other words, they were afraid.

If Liu Junshou said what Li Jue said, Kong Jie would not only ignore it, but he might even spray it back.

Because in the whole world, except for Li Jue who has the confidence to say that he can slander their Confucianism, no one else can do it.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't do it.

What Ying Zheng can do is to kill them, but that will only complete their reputation and make them even more famous.

And Li Jue can start from their weakness, use literary talent and calligraphy to make their Confucianism notorious.

That's what they care about most.

Li Jue's calligraphy and poems and songs are swan song, even Kong Jue is ashamed of himself.

Li Jue is also very accomplished in Confucianism, which he is most proud of. If he uses this as a breakthrough, he will definitely be able to discredit their Confucianism.

In addition, Li Jue is still a powerful person with great strength, if they really discredit him, they will have nothing to do.

Literary talent is beyond compare.

Fight, can't fight.

rebel?That is courting death.

When Li Jue writes a crusade against them, they will be able to ruin their Confucianism, and they will never be able to turn around.

After all, Confucianism believes in the monarch and assists Mingjun in governing the world. If you take the lead in rebellion, wouldn't that be a departure from Confucianism?

Therefore, it is impossible to do that.

What chills Kong Jie the most is that most people in Shandong learn calligraphy, and they all use Li Jue's copybook as a template.

Then some of the poems sung on the streets, even the Qin King Sao Liuhe praising Yingzheng, and Dafengge, were all written by Li Jue.

It can be said that Li Jue is also very popular.

Kong Jie wanted to play against Li Jue, but he couldn't do it in his base camp, let alone the whole world! ?

Kong Jie softened.

He said in a deep voice: "Speaking of a thousand words and ten thousand, you still hope that the old man can come forward to write a sacrificial letter for the emperor, but the emperor once burned books to deceive Confucian scholars, that is a big mistake, if he admits his mistake, the old man can help him write a sacrificial letter. "

But Li Jue said: "That's impossible, the emperor can't admit his mistake. Unless it's a natural or man-made disaster, he needs to issue an imperial edict."

He hehe said: "If you want the emperor to admit his mistake because of something, unless the emperor is big enough, otherwise, he will not admit it. You want to refuse if you ask so?"

Kong Jie was at a loss for words.

Li Jue had gradually taken the initiative and threatened Kong Jie instead, as if he was not begging Kong Jie to write a sacrificial oration, but giving Kong Jie a chance to reform himself.

Kong Jie was very angry, but the initiative was no longer in his hands. Once he dared to refuse, Li Jue would be able to discredit Confucianism and make them lose their most important reputation.

The Confucianists all glared at Li Jue, but Li Jue didn't even look at them. A bunch of sour Confucians, without Kong Jie, they are nothing.

Now even Kong Jie can't get into his eyes, let alone these people.

He came here this time to pave the way for the future, and he didn't want to do things so badly, otherwise he could completely replace Confucianism.

In the final analysis, Li Jue felt that Confucianism had merits, and some propositions could be used as policies for governing the country.

But we must learn from each other's strengths, take its essence and discard its dross.

It is far from enough for a country to rely on one theory, it must integrate with each other and learn from each other's strengths to make up for its weaknesses.

The Great Qin Dynasty is easy to break, so Li Jue needs to reconcile Confucianism and even Taoism.

However, Confucianism or Taoism cannot be allowed to dominate. They must integrate and choose the most suitable path.

Seeing that Li Jue refused to give in, Kong Jie also felt that it was unrealistic for Ying Zheng to apologize, so he gave in again, saying, "Even if the emperor refuses to admit his mistake, he must have this attitude, otherwise, what is the face of our Confucianism? "

Naturally, Li Jue couldn't push Confucianism too hard, especially Kong Jie, who still cares about face in front of Confucianists, so he should give some face.

He said: "Actually, the emperor has always given his attitude. He has repeatedly sent people to invite you Confucianism. Everyone knows that it is up to you. In the end, you refused to accept the hard and soft, which made the emperor not come down."

"You have to remember that the world belongs to the emperor, including you who want to promote Confucianism in the world, how can you go against the emperor!? The emperor sent someone to invite you, so you should just go down the donkey and lower the steps. If you don't fight directly, then you, with thin arms and thin legs, can beat the emperor who sits on the whole world!?"

Kong Jie was stunned speechless, but what Li Jue said made sense.

The emperor insists on them, which seems to be an attitude, but they are too high-minded, thinking that the emperor can't do without them.

They also want to take this opportunity to gain more benefits, and if they make progress, they will lose face to the emperor, so naturally they want to kill them.

After all, they know how to sit-in and go on hunger strike when they lose face. Wouldn't the emperor be even more angry when he loses face? Killing them is considered light.

Li Jue patted Kong Jie on the shoulder and said, "Old Master, Confucianism has always been people-oriented. If you let the people fight against the emperor and push them into the pit of fire, is this a repayment to the people who supported you?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was murderous.

Kong Jie's face changed drastically, and the Confucianists were even more frightened.

And the words have already been said, and Li Jue doesn't need to write articles to discredit them, and he can directly make them Confucianists lose the trust of the people outside.

After all, the words are rough and the rationale are not rough. The common people seem to understand that they support the Great Confucianism, and they lost their lives. The Great Confucianism is still high and rich.

If you think about it this way, you will feel unbalanced.

At that time, they will know that they have been used by Confucianism, and they will definitely eat back Confucianism, so that Confucianism has no foothold in Shandong.

Kong Jie said: "Sir, don't talk about it, the old man knows what to do. What you said is also reasonable. The emperor has already given his attitude, so we will give him face."

Immediately got up and said: "All disciples listen to the order and eat immediately. When the time comes, choose talented people to go to Mount Tai and write sacrificial rites for heaven and earth with this old man."

He deliberately didn't mention the emperor, but said that for the sake of heaven and earth, he still couldn't save face.

Li Jue didn't expose it, anyway, it's fine for people to go, and he saved a lot of things and unnecessary troubles.

After finishing Kong Jie, Li Jue planned to leave.

but.

Kong Jie still said: "Master Shu, if we go out this time, the common people will look down on us, let's let Xiang Li do it again."

Li Si and the county guard had also come here in person, but Kong Jie scolded them back and made them proud in front of the common people.

Now he still wants Li Si to be there in person, and then to save face, go out with the opportunity.

Li Jue said: "Old Master, Li Si also wants to save face. He is a representative of the Legalist School and the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. He is not inferior to you in terms of status, academic attainment, and personal ability. If you scold him once, he will do it again. Got it, can you take it!?"

Kong Jie was at a loss for words again. He found that he had made many requests, but Li Jue seemed to refuse them all.

There is no such negotiation.

However, he also seems unable to refute.

Just when Kong Jie was going to fight for reason and wanted to fight for a better level, Li Jue said with a half-smile, "Old Master, my elder brother Li Jue came here to invite you, isn't it enough to give you this face? Do you want me to show off the Longquan Sword?"

Kong Jie frowned, his cheeks twitching.

There was something in Li Jue's words, which seemed to give him a step down, but the threat between the words was not concealed.

I will personally invite you, if you do not agree, then I will kill you with the Longquan Sword.

Kong Jie didn't dare to say anything more, so he nodded quickly and said, "That's enough, that's enough, the great talents and sentiments are all over the world, everyone in Shandong knows everyone."
