The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1837 Knocking

"Yes, Fang Xusheng's words make sense. Before discussing this matter, we need to consider a more important issue, that is, whether we have the ability to protect the human race in Hancheng after Hanjun Emperor Guan leaves." Grand Secretary Kong Yingwei said.

Although the Zisi family does not belong to the Kong family in name, it is still regarded as a member of the Kong family in reality. Kong Yingwei's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Fang Yun looked at Kong Yingwei, and the two of them met eyes and nodded slightly.

Seeing the people of the Zisi family next to Kong Yingwei, Fang Yun remembered the division of the Kong family.

The son of Confucius was named Kong Li, and the son of Kong Li was the famous Zisi.

Kong Li was the only son of Confucius, but Confucius was busy with his ambitions and traveled around the countries, neglecting to discipline him. In addition, Kong Li's talent was mediocre, which led to his mediocre life. He did not leave any classics, but left two sentences.

Kong Li once said to Confucius, "Your son is not as good as my son", and said to Zisizi, "Your father is not as good as my father", which became an interesting story in Shengyuan Continent.

At the age of fifty, Kong Li almost died, but was later saved by Confucius. It seemed that he did not want to have only one son. After that, the old tree sprouted and gave birth to several children. At that time, Zisi had become a great Confucian scholar and would have been the third generation of the Kong family.

However, Zisizi was obsessed with the way of the saints and practiced in seclusion for a period of time. No one knew where he went. Before his death, Kong Li had to designate his young second son as the third head of the family.

Zisizi had achieved success in the way of the saints. When he returned home to prepare for the canonization, he learned that Kong Li had passed away and his younger brother took over as the head of the family. He did not want to be the head of the family, so he did not fight for the position of the head of the family and acquiesced to the descendants of his younger brothers to inherit the position of the head of the family.

Zisizi did not care, but his children and grandchildren were dissatisfied. After all, Confucius had been canonized at that time, his status was respected, and all nations came to pay tribute. The status of the head of the Kong family was far more noble than any princes or even the Zhou emperor.

Therefore, after Zisizi was canonized and secluded, the Kong family nominally split up. At that time, there was no such thing as the family of Confucius or the family of the sub-sage.

Later, more and more people became saints, and there was even the highest institution of the human race, the Holy Court. In order to consolidate the status of the descendants of Confucius, the Kong family and the Zisizi family were nominally two families, but in fact they were one. They lived in Kongcheng at the same time and participated in activities such as ancestor worship together.

Since it was nominally a split family, the people of the Zisizi family would get some extra benefits. For example, the people of the Zisizi family could enter the ancient land of Confucius like ordinary Kong family members, but Kong family members generally rarely entered the ancient land of Shihan.

Many people still assumed that the Zisizi family was the family of Confucius, so even if the Yan family was in charge of the Ninth Cold City, they would still treat them with courtesy. Although Zisizi was the descendant of Yan Zi, his grandfather was Yan Zi's teacher.

When Kong Yingwei mentioned the Hanjun Emperor's crown, Fang Yun saw a slight change in Hanjun's eyes.

Without the imperial crown, Han Jun's life span would be shortened, but Fang Yun sighed in his heart that Han Jun's throne was the real treasure, but it was a pity that these people would not be able to stimulate the true power of the longevity jade.

"Ying Wei is right. The secret of the Ice Ancestor is indeed important, but the foundation of our human race in the Ten Cold Ancient Land is more important. If our human race is forced to leave the Ten Cold Ancient Land, even if we get the treasures left by the Ice Ancestor, there will be huge losses. Once the demon world finds the star road leading to the Ten Cold Ancient Land, it can use it as a springboard to continuously attack the human world, open up the Sixth Demon Mountain, and even make the Two Worlds Mountain insignificant."

"Unfortunately, the Star Demon Barbarians will not tell us the secret of the Ice Ancestor first, otherwise we can weigh what to do."

"Yes, the human race is the most important, the secret of the Ice Ancestor is second, and the Star Demon Barbarians are third."

After everyone discussed for a while, Fang Yun suddenly said: "What if the secret of the Ice Ancestor this time can determine whether we stay in the Ten Cold Ancient Land?"

Everyone was stunned, and several people showed shame on their faces, because Fang Yun's words were just a guess, but with a little deduction, they could guess that Fang Yun said so because he was worried that the demon barbarians or the ice race would get the power of the Ice Ancestor and drive the human race away from here.

"Fang Xusheng's statement is not only reasonable, but also very likely to come true. I have been suspecting recently that the reason why the Blood Demon Barbarian dared to attack the Star Demon Barbarian was because he had the secret support of the Ice Clan." Meng Jingye said.

"Alas, it's hard to choose."

Everyone thought about it, but couldn't make a decision.

Fang Yun continued: "Putting aside my identity as the Moon Emperor, I think it is a good strategy to fight the Star Demon Barbarian against the Blood Demon Barbarian. After all, the Blood Demon Barbarian is our enemy. Whether in Liangjie Mountain, in the ancient land of Huangcheng or in other places, it is the primary mission of our human race to strike the Blood Demon Barbarian. The Blood Demon Barbarian in the ancient land of Shihan is powerful, and we may not be able to strike, but now there is a ready-made way to obstruct it, why do you avoid talking about it?"

Meng Jingye smiled and said: "You said before that you would take a long-term view, why do you now put forward a completely opposite view?"

"Because I find that you are too conservative, so I have a thought that the Blood Demon Barbarian thinks the same way. If we always want to avoid danger, we will often face greater danger." Fang Yun said.

Zeng Yue said: "It's not that we are too conservative, but now the Ten Cold Ancient Land is extremely chaotic. Not only are the cities fighting for the Lord of Cold, but the environment of the Ten Cold Ancient Land has also changed greatly. At this time, in order to prevent mistakes, we must remain unchanged in the face of changes. Our goal is the Lord of Cold, not the secret of the Ice Ancestor, but the problem is that if we can't get the secret of the Ice Ancestor now, we may not be able to fight for the Lord of Cold."

The side hall fell into silence.

A university scholar of the Xun family said: "The Zong family is also in the city. For such an important matter, why don't you call the Zong family members to discuss it?"

Some people looked at the Zong family university scholar with strange eyes.

Without Fang Yun speaking, Yan Ningxiao said: "Before, Xiao Yetian, on behalf of the clan, expressed his firm opposition to rescuing the Star Demon Barbarians. Since they have made their position clear, Fang Xusheng and I did not look for them."

The Xun family scholar nodded and said nothing more.

Fang Yun said: "Since no one is talking, I will throw out some ideas. In fact, we are too concerned about the 'Secret of the Ice Ancestor' and the 'Safety of the Human Race'. Let's look at the problem from a different angle and change the topic. I set the topic this time as 'Should we obstruct the Blood Demon Barbarians in the Ten Cold Ancient Land'. Those who agree to obstruct please tap the armrest of the chair with your fingers to indicate."

As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, many people tapped the armrest with their index fingers, and then the rest followed suit, and even Han Jun tapped the throne lightly.

There were a total of 24 people present, including Fang Yun and Han Jun, and 21 people tapped.

Meng Jingye looked at Fang Yun with a smile on his face, and felt that in the past few years, although Fang Yun had become a virtual saint, he was just a name, and did not have the strength and demeanor to lead the crowd. In the ancient land of Xuemang, Meng Jingye explored the Sin Palace with Fang Yun, and found that Fang Yun had already begun to show leadership qualities.
