The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2578 Enemies of Legalism

After breakfast, after a short break, the Shengdao Wenhui continued.

For talented scholars, it is completely possible to participate in the Wenhui for many consecutive days.

The second day of the Shengdao Wenhui was also entirely given by the great scholars.

On the third day, the great scholars began to answer questions raised by other scholars.

Unlike ordinary Wenhui, this Shengdao Wenhui allows other scholars to refute, but generally at least Hanlin will raise objections.

So, the atmosphere on the third and fourth days was very lively. The scholars of the human race often argued for several hours over a problem, so that they could not reach a consensus and had to give up the discussion for the time being.

On the evening of the fourth day, the Shengdao Wenhui was suspended, allowing all scholars to rest for one night in the temporary residence in Tiandibei.

On the fifth day, the Shengdao Wenhui continued. However, starting from today, natural law will no longer be discussed specifically. Today's topic is the constitution.

Not only was the venue of the Shengdao Wenhui extremely lively, but the discussion board also became a battlefield, with countless people discussing the theme of the Shengdao Wenhui.

The Constitution was discussed for two days, and then other laws were discussed.

As the discussion deepened, and with Fang Yun's deliberate guidance, the Legalists made changes in many aspects of the law.

The Legalists' Holy Way Literary Meeting lasted for a full ten days.

By the early morning of the eleventh day, the meeting had discussed all the important issues.

Many low-ranking scholars looked tired, but high-ranking scholars were not tired, but full of energy and gained something.

Near the end, Gao Mo walked behind the table on the high platform and slowly scanned the whole audience.

"This meeting is about to end. After many days of hard work by the scholars present, the Legalists have gained a lot. As for the specific effect, we will have to wait until the end of the literary meeting to make a conclusion. As for whether the 'perfect law' should be established, it will take a long time. However, thanks to the great wisdom of Fang Xusheng, our Legalists have already had a new direction. I firmly believe that this Saint Dao Literary Meeting will become the foundation for the rise of the Legalists! No matter how high the achievements of the Legalists will be in the future, they cannot bypass today's literary meeting and Fang Xusheng! Therefore, from now on, all Legalist academies of the human race will respect Fang Yun as the Master of the Legalists."

The elders of the Gongdian Pavilion present were of different appearances. Some of them even looked at Gao Mo and other Legalist elders like old children with contempt.

At the same time, the elders of the Gongdian Pavilion were a little depressed.

Because it was the Gongdian Pavilion that first decided to join hands with Fang Yun to build a technical college, but it was the Medical Hall that announced it first.

It was also the Gongdian Pavilion that first decided to respect Fang Yun as the Master of Gongjia in the Gongjia College, but the Legalists once again stole the limelight from the Gongjia.

The scholars were extremely shocked after hearing this. They didn't expect the Legalists to do this.

Even Fang Yun was surprised.

Although the word "Master" originally had many meanings, it now generally refers to Confucius, and occasionally it can also refer to the person with the highest status in a certain field or a certain family.

The Legalists did not determine the Master of the Legalists, because none of the Legalists saints such as Li Kui, Shang Yang, and Han Fei could dominate the world, and the Legalists' families could not reach a consensus.

When Fang Yun lobbied the various halls of the Holy Academy before, he only wanted to be the Master of the Engineering and Medical School, but he also mentioned it to the Elder of the Criminal Hall. At that time, the Elder of the Criminal Hall did not agree, so he gave up.

Fang Yun did not expect that at this time, the Legalists actually took the lead in announcing that they would become the Master of the Legalists of the Legalist Academy.

In a technical college, a holy temple must be established, but unlike ordinary holy temples, this kind of holy temple will only enshrine Confucius and the saints of a certain family.

Originally, the Legalist Academy would build a two-room temple to worship Confucius and other Legalist semi-saints, but now, the temple must be expanded to worship Fang Yun.

Moreover, Fang Yun is in the middle!

Because, in the Legalist place, the Legalist Master is the first, and Confucius is the first after leaving the Legalist Academy.

There are discussions, but no opposition.

Because everyone knows very well that in terms of achievements and help to the Legalists, Fang Yun's Legalist reforms over the years plus a constitution can be compared with any Legalist semi-saint. Not to mention, there is also a perfect law and reason that may shine.

Every Legalist knows very well that if the perfect law is determined and the Legalists have a new direction of the holy way, then Fang Yun's statue will inevitably be sent to the Criminal Hall by the Legalists and listed with the saints.

In fact, there are also some stubborn Legalists who want to refute Fang Yun, but Fang Yun took out Han Feizi's famous saying at the beginning and annotated it as three insufficiencies.

Heaven's change is not to be feared!

Ancestors are not to be followed!

People's words are not to be pitied!

As long as they cannot overturn these three sentences and Han Feizi, they do not have enough reasons to refute.

The Legalists are not miscellaneous people who are making trouble. If they are not sure of winning, they will not come forward to fight. What's more, now all the great Confucian scholars of the Legalists support Fang Yun, and no one will be stupid enough to be enemies with the great Confucian scholars of the Legalists at this time.

They will only take action when Fang Yun's theory has problems.

Gao Mo continued: "I know that some of you are not convinced. In fact, as early as when Fang Xusheng was the county magistrate of Ning'an County to carry out legal reforms and pilot projects, our Xingdian Pavilion Elders were more unconvinced than anyone else. A little kid who has not grown up yet, writing some poems is fine, how dare he make laws with such brazenness? Therefore, the reason why we did not oppose Fang Yun at that time was, first, to cherish talent, and second, to give Xusheng a face."

At this point, Gao Mo turned his head to look at Fang Yun's reaction, which attracted laughter from everyone.

Fang Yun rolled his eyes at Gao Mo, revealing the mentality of a young man, which also attracted a knowing smile from everyone.

Gao Mo turned around and said with a smile: "As you have seen, his achievements in Ning'an not only shocked our legalist scholars, but also shocked other scholars speechless and convinced. Until now, we have many scholars who disagree with Fang Yun's many innovations. I can tell you today that one of my disciples, because he could not understand and opposed Fang Yun's innovation of the legalist school, was a dignified Hanlin but his literary courage was broken. He has been living at home and has no hope of becoming a saint."

The meeting place was silent. I didn't expect that there was such a story behind it.

Fang Yun also heard it for the first time.

Gao Mo said loudly: "But, I, Gao Mo, have never obstructed Fang Yun! We can't find the direction of progress. We can fall behind, we can be afraid, we can even pursue comfort, but we can't obstruct those who are making progress and those who are looking for the direction of the human race!"

Everyone understood that Gao Mo's words were actually aimed at the miscellaneous school.

"Those who are enemies of Fang Yun are regarded as enemies by the Legalists!"

After Gao Mo said this loudly, all the great scholars of the Legalists behind him stood up, and Fang Yun also stood up.

Under the high platform, the great scholars of the Legalists stood up one after another, followed by the Hanlin, and then the Jinshi...

The Legalists stood up one after another like a wave.

They are the Legalists.

They are the enemies of Fang Yun's enemies!

The other scholars looked at the Legalists with awe.
