The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"Absurd!" Liu Shan said in a deep voice.

A strange force came out of his mouth, which seemed to have a refreshing effect, and Ji Zhibai immediately woke up.

Ji Zhibai lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said: "My teacher taught me this. It's just that Fang Yun is walking in the cabinet and attacking the left prime minister of the government. How can I spare him lightly!"

Prime Minister Zuo glanced at Ji Zhibai but said nothing.

In Jingguo, Fang Yun's actual power may not be as good as that of the six ministers, but he is already the number one person under Chen Sheng in terms of people's support and national destiny.

"That day, Prime Minister Wen postponed the ceremony of the Poet Ancestor until night, allowing the people of the ten countries to see the Three Treasures for verification. Fang's luck in Jing State was no longer controllable. However, Prime Minister Wen led his people to stop the special envoy of the Palace of Punishment. Even though he had various excuses, The matter will not end like this!”

Ji Zhibai said: "Yes, the law is the most important thing in the Hall of Punishment, and Wen Xiang's move has violated the law of the Holy Court! Wen Xiang is simply stupid. Not only did he fail to make Fang Yun become a virtual saint, but once Fang Yun dies from the punishment of the Moon Tree, he will be You will be defeated next!"

Zuo Xiang nodded, the emotion on his face softened a lot.

Ji Zhibai suddenly bent down and bowed, saying, "Students have always had doubts in their minds. Today is the eve of victory. I wonder if I should talk about it or not?"

"Oh? Tell me." Zuo Xiang turned to look at Ji Zhibai. His eyes suddenly became extremely clear, like the bright moon at night and the candles in the cave, clearly observing everything.

Ji Zhibai felt the looming power of his master's degree and became more respectful, saying: "Student is stupid and has always had doubts about Lian Man's strategy. This matter is no less difficult than being conferred the title of Lesser Sage."

Zuo Xiang smiled calmly and said: "You don't know much about the demon world. Since ancient times, demons have been respected, followed by barbarians. Especially in recent hundreds of years, barbarians have become more and more knowledgeable about all aspects of our human race, such as industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, Soldiers and so on are the targets of their studies. Do you know about the death of Soldier Man Saint in the Demon Ancestor’s Court?”

"This matter has been spread, and it is said that the plan of the saints of our human race has been successful."

"But from the perspective of the Barbarians, it was the Monsters who refused to save them, and it was the Monsters who suppressed the Barbarians. After all, the Great Sage of the Lion Clan had the opportunity to save them. After the death of the Soldier Barbarian Saint, his tribe was attacked by the enemies of the Monsters , angered the other barbarians, and the demon and barbarian tribes suffered 600,000 casualties, so that the saints had to join forces to suppress it. "

"Students know that the internal fighting in the demon world is far more fierce than that of the human race. Otherwise, we, the human race, would be unable to defend the Two Realms Mountains."

"The civil strife between the demon and barbarian clans was not originally going to be so big, but my miscellaneous family, strategists and military strategists worked together with the Northern Saint to achieve such results without even using a single soldier."

"I see."

"Since ancient times, each family has used its own way to solve the scourge of demons and barbarians. Winning over barbarians is a method recognized by all saints, but there are differences on how to win over."

"What my teacher said is true. Confucianism still uses the method of 'teaching without distinction' in an attempt to educate demons and barbarians, but with little success. Military strategists use force to subjugate demons and barbarians, and then use Confucian teaching methods to tame them. The Nuzhi tribe is the result of military strategists and barbarians. The result of Confucianism joining forces. However, everyone knows that this process is too slow."

"The holy way of our Za family is to 'combine Confucianism and Mohism, combine the name and law, and penetrate all the ways of hundreds of schools'. With the efforts of the Zongsheng, we have joined forces with the political strategists and the military strategists to make many achievements in the demon world, allowing the demon and barbarian tribes to Some conflicts are getting deeper and deeper. I can’t tell you what happened. I can only say that if there is no external obstruction, within three years, our Za family will rely on the years of hard work of the ancestors to achieve unprecedented great achievements. It may not be as good as that of King Wen and Kong Sheng, but His merits are comparable to those of a saint!"

"This..." Ji Zhibai was shocked. He didn't expect that Zong Sheng had been doing things secretly.

Liu Shan smiled calmly and said: "The sage is working hard for the human race and is about to achieve results, but Fang Yun is blocking him at every turn, so I don't like Fang Yun, not because of personal grudges or intolerance. However, Fang Yun himself seeks death. , triggering the Moon Tree Divine Punishment, no wonder we killed him!"

"Students are shallow and want to be punished by their teachers!"

Liu Shan looked out the window with a look of nostalgia.

"Punishment is waived. You have never met my mentor, Zongsheng, so naturally you don't know him. I still remember that day, when I snatched half a steamed bun from a beggar and used a blood-stained sharp stone to scare away the other beggars. , while chewing steamed buns in the rain, the umbrella suddenly appeared and a figure more majestic than Mount Tai. "

Liu Shan looked out the window quietly.

"Teacher, what did Zongsheng say that day that made you so determined?"

Liu Shan suddenly burst into laughter and said with a smile: "He touched my head and said: 'Little guy, follow me to pursue the holy path, there will be more steamed buns to eat.' Then I kept following him, following. Now think about it, In the whole world, he is the only one who began to lay out the holy way and take the three races into account during the Confucian period."

Before Ji Zhibai could sigh, Liu Shan suddenly stopped smiling and looked firm.

"Fang Yun is a genius who was born with knowledge. How could he know how much effort we have put in to get to where we are today! Not even a hair or a drop of sweat from my mentor can be blocked, let alone denied! I should be my mentor's sword and cut down all enemies. !”

Liushan's voice was as crisp as jade and as thick as bells and drums, suppressing all sounds within a hundred feet.

The flower girl outside Zuo Xiang's mansion was speechless, but could not make any sound.

Ji Zhibai lowered his head.

After a long time, Liu Shan said slowly: "Fang Yun is about to die, and Jiang Hechuan will be next!"

Ji Zhibai's body trembled. The next one was Literary Minister Jiang Hechuan. The next one was self-evident.

"What if... Fang Yun doesn't die?" Ji Zhibai couldn't help but ask.

Liu Shan was stunned, and the study fell into silence.

After a while, the voice of the servant of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly came from outside the door: "Master Yuan, Master Yuan, you..."

With a clang, Yuan Su, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, pushed the door open and said loudly: "Master Zuo Xiang, Fang Yun's three articles defend the country. If we don't stop him, he will definitely participate in the Jinshi examination tomorrow, and all our calculations will be in vain!"

"Is this your promise that you will never let Fang Yun walk out of the Tiger Prison?" Liu Shan's voice was gloomy and terrifying.

"Mr. Liu, what does this have to do with me? I can't instruct the Criminal Court, and I can't participate in the Holy Discussion. I have tried my best! You don't know what my mansion has become. It is simply the filthiest place in the whole capital! You can't let me be a scapegoat! I still have the hope of becoming a university scholar. If I am convicted by the Supervisory Council or even investigated by the Criminal Court, my literary position will stop at the Hanlin Academy and I will never make any progress!"

"After the Moon Tree God's punishment, we will discuss Fang Yun's matter again!"

Yushan, outside the capital, Lei Family Villa

The tea in front of the great scholar Lei Tingyu and Zong Wenxiong began to freeze, and the heavy snow had stopped.

The two looked at the direction of the capital with expressionless faces, and they were silent for a long time.

"The snow in the capital of Jingguo is not worthy of its reputation, so don't look at it!" Zong Wenxiong stood up, and Pingbu Qingyun appeared under his feet.

Lei Tingyu snorted coldly and said, "The snow in Jingguo is really disgusting! Fang Yun is lucky to die in the punishment of the Moon Tree. If Cheng Daru still opposes my Lei family, I will have to use my Lei Zu's relics to destroy his holy way, so that the world will know the fate of opposing my Lei family! Let's go, wait for the news of Fang Yun's death in a few days!"
