Chapter 256: The Supreme Imperial Scholar, Gongsun Tongming
The battle was stalemate and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce accelerated the time on the virtual screen.

Soon the time on the virtual screen accelerated thirty times.

Gongsun Ce and Ying Zheng watched for an entire afternoon, and a month had passed on the virtual screen.

During this period, Wang Jian was blocked by Xiang Yan on the border, which resulted in excessive loss of troops on both sides, and Wang Jian had to choose to retreat.

Ying Zheng looked at everything that happened on the virtual screen, silently clicked to restart, and increased the military force. This time, a full 400,000 troops joined the attack on Chu.

After suffering heavy losses, Wang Jian successfully defeated Xiang Yan.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment and continued to increase his military strength. This time it was an army of 600,000, and the losses of the Qin army were reduced.

The Qin army was said to have a million strong army, but only about 600,000 soldiers could be mobilized at one time, and the rest of the soldiers needed to stay in the city to prevent any unexpected situations.

Therefore, for Ying Zheng, handing over 600,000 troops to Wang Jian at one time was equivalent to a gamble.

This is not just as simple as handing over most of the country's troops to Wang Jian, but also handing over all the troops that can be mobilized at one time to Wang Jian.

"Wang Jian has no intention of rebelling, but he is afraid that you will think he does." Gongsun Ce spread his hands, "Sometimes there will be such a gap between the monarch and his subjects."

"This old thing." Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly, and then changed the subject, "Sir, how long will it take for the other world to merge with our world?"

"It will be soon. If nothing unexpected happens, the scene from the other world will appear on our side soon, and the people from the other world will most likely enter our world in advance."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was obviously very interested in this topic, "Will there be any strong men coming?"

“It’s likely that someone who is not strong but has great luck is coming.” Gongsun Ce’s tone was a little uncertain.

"Why?"

"Because the fusion of the worlds requires constant stimulation from the wedge in order to merge faster." Gongsun Ce looked up at the sky, "Also, the opponent's landing point is also a mystery."

Ying Zheng followed Gongsun Ce's gaze and looked up at the sky. Apart from the clear blue sky, Ying Zheng saw nothing.

"A Zheng, your vision is not far enough, and you can't see beyond the world." Gongsun Ce noticed that Ying Zheng's gaze was shifting, and reminded him with a smile.

"Strength is not as good as power." Ying Zheng sighed, "Mr. Gongsun, Tongming Academy is about to be completed. Do any of the hundreds of schools have a way to use luck to improve strength?"

Gongsun Ce understood that Ying Zheng wanted to use the name of the Tongming Academy to ask for classics on the theory of destiny from various schools of thought.

"Maybe, maybe not." Gongsun Ce replied succinctly, "However, I will soon establish a religion and change some Confucian schools into Confucianism.

The ideas of gods and ghosts were incorporated into Confucianism by those who had mindless belief in ancient sages, sour Confucians, and corrupt Confucians.

Those who are passionate about learning, dedicated to benefiting the people, and dare to create will be kept in Confucianism for teaching. "

“It should be so.” Ying Zheng understood Gongsun Ce’s approach. It was equivalent to Gongsun Ce building a trash can himself, throwing Confucian garbage into the trash can, and then transforming it.

Among this group of members who were thrown into Confucianism, there must have been some who sought to restore the Zhou rituals, which in disguise alleviated the pressure on the Qin State to implement the county system after unifying the six kingdoms.

The next day, Tongming Academy was officially completed.

Gongsun Ce gently pushed Madam Hu away from his arms and tied up her messy hair. Looking at the group of young women sleeping soundly, he felt that he had gone a little crazy last night.

After all, I haven't been intimate with them for several months, so it's normal to feel a little overwhelmed for a while.

However, today is the day when Tongming Academy is completed. If Gongsun Ce guessed correctly, the representatives of other schools of thought have already arrived.

Gongsun Ce used his telekinesis instead of his eyes to look in the direction of Tongming Academy, and sure enough, they had almost arrived.

Taoism - Chisongzi. Without the pressure of the Taoist struggle between heaven and man, this guy looks much more energetic and can probably live another 20 to 30 years.

Military strategist - Zhang Han. All other generals were leading troops outside, only he was relatively free.

Mohist School - Six-fingered Black Knight. The other party had taken off the masked bamboo hat and was wearing a black official robe with a Xiezhi embroidered on it. However, he had dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that the matter of Xiezhi had troubled him.

Legalist - Li Si. Li Si's proud expression made Gongsun Ce a little uncomfortable, he was really ambitious.

Yin-Yang School - Xu Fu and Da Siming. Gongsun Ce's eyes stayed on Da Siming's black silk stockings for a moment. Donghuang Taiyi was a good man and knew to match him with someone pleasing to the eye.

Doctors - Nian Duan and Duan Mu Rong. Before Tongming Academy was fully built, this pair of master and apprentice had already moved in. Gongsun Ce's eyes lingered on the baby girl in Nian Duan's arms.

The baby girl was named Mi Xin, Mi Lian's younger sister and the second daughter of Lord Changping.

After Changping Jun's wife gave birth to Mi Xin, she could not bear the news of Changping Jun's death and passed away.

Xiang Yan, a supporter of Lord Changping, had four powerful generals from other families under his command, Feng, Lin, Huoshan, and Ying Bu was one of them, in charge of the Thunder Leopard Corps.

Changping Jun's wife was entrusted to his care, but Mi Xin was diagnosed with a serious illness after she was born, so Ying Bu went to Tongming Academy and entrusted Mi Xin to Nian Duan.

At this moment, Ying Bu was in prison with Ji Bu. Not only did the two have similar names, but their experiences were also very similar.

Miscellaneous scholars - Lü Buwei's former retainers represented him. Among Lü Buwei's retainers, there were also people who came because they truly admired Lü Buwei's talent and learning.

The other party was fascinated by the doctrines of the Miscellaneous School. Although Gongsun Ce did not understand what appeal the doctrines of the Miscellaneous School had for him, he regarded him as a good teacher of the doctrines of the Miscellaneous School at the Tongming Academy.

Famous scholar - Gongsun Jian. This person is an old friend of Gongsun Jian, but their identities are now very different.

Farmer's family - Calendar Master. Everything was normal, except that his initial injury had not yet healed, so the Zhu family came along.

Others include novelists, planners... As long as Gongsun Ce, the Confucian agent, returns, Tongming Academy can officially start recruiting students.

Gongsun Ce walked out of the room, and Gongsun Yan, Xiao Meng and Mi Lian, who were standing at the door ready to listen for any noise, scattered like birds and beasts.

Gongsun Ce waved his hand, and the power of heaven and earth turned into a big hand and scooped Mi Lian and Xiao Meng into his arms.

"Pa!"*2
"You are still so young, why didn't you come over last night?"

Gongsun Ce slapped each of the two little lolis, then picked them up and went to wash.

Xiao Meng naturally would not cooperate with Mi Lian in washing Gongsun Ce, but with Mi Lian's help, it was enough to complete the task.

Mi Lian took the tea from the twins in Han Wangan's harem, and then she handed the tea to Gongsun Ce's mouth.

Gongsun Ce took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth, and then spit it out.

Mi Lian took a towel dipped in hot water and carefully wiped Gongsun Ce's face.

"Have you all washed up?" Gongsun Ce asked Xiao Meng and Mi Lian with a smile.

"I've washed up." Mi Lian answered honestly, while Xiao Meng turned her head away in dissatisfaction and didn't look at Gongsun Ce.

"Xiaoyi, your sister is with Nian Duan now." Mi Lian's face darkened when she heard the word "sister". Just when Xiao Meng wanted to comfort Mi Lian, Gongsun Ce spoke again.

"Xiao Meng, your senior brother has come to Tongming Academy, and it's about time for you to go back to Taiyi Mountain."

Xiao Meng's face suddenly looked a little ugly. After all, she was a girl at heart, so she naturally preferred playing to practicing.

After all, the Taoist Tianzong is less populated and more deserted.

Gongsun Ce held the two silent lolis and stepped into Tongming Academy.

Gongsun Ce's sudden appearance surprised the group of agents from the Hundred Schools, and then they all greeted Gongsun Ce.

"Greetings to General Gongsun."
Gongsun Ce put Mi Lian and Xiao Meng down, raised his hand slightly, and everyone seemed to be held up by an invisible hand.

“No need to be polite.” Seeing that everyone had stood up, Gongsun Ce continued, “Today, I have established Tongming Academy, which combines the theories of hundreds of schools of thought, carries forward the past, opens up the future, and reforms the old to establish the new.

I hope that the theories of the Hundred Schools of Thought can be developed and suitable for the people, rather than becoming empty and pretentious knowledge or mysterious books that no one can understand.

...Okay, I declare that Tongming Academy is officially completed. From today on, I will recruit students from all over the country into Tongming Academy.

Let students start learning from scratch to judge which school of thought among the hundreds of schools of thought they are suitable for. Even if students are not suitable for any school of thought, they can still stay in Tongming Academy to study.

However, since they are students, they must pay a certain amount of tuition, so the schools set their own tuition standards, but the tuition must be able to support the operation of the Tongming Academy. "

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he glanced at everyone around him, and then said: "The establishment of Tongming Academy has come to an end. Next, I would like to ask everyone to be a witness."

Gongsun Ce took a step forward and stepped firmly into the void, as if there were invisible stairs in the void.

When Gongsun Ce took the 999th step, he turned to face the representatives of the Hundred Schools and said, "Today, I, Gongsun Tongming, hereby announce the establishment of a religion, which is called Confucianism.

I command all the Confucian schools in the world and accept all the Confucian students. I am the supreme god, and I am called the Emperor of Confucianism. The Heavenly Goddess Haotian is the supreme god, and I am called the Pope.

Confucianists from all over the world have witnessed this, and the people of the world have witnessed this. From now on, Confucianism will take it as its responsibility to save the people of the world and take saving the world and benefiting the people as its fundamental mission. You should admire this.”

As soon as Gongsun Ce finished speaking, clouds rolled in the sky and thunder rumbled, confirming Gongsun Ce's words about establishing a religion.

This is Qin Shi Tiandao coming to establish his authority for Gongsun Ce. Even though Qin Shi Tiandao is still digesting the Ever Night world, he still pays attention to Gongsun Ce's movements. After all, Gongsun Ce is his agent of Tiandao.

The thunder in the sky became more and more frequent, as if something was brewing.

At this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a golden light shot out from the crack, heading straight towards Gongsun Ce.

In the golden light, four large characters shone brightly - "Imperial Confucian" and "Pope".

These four words contain endless pressure, which makes people feel awe at first sight.

Gongsun Ce was not afraid at all. He straightened his chest and faced the golden light.

Golden light instantly enveloped his entire body, and he felt an inexplicable force surging into his body, shaping his soul into a divine soul.

However, Gongsun Ce's soul was already strong, and this power only improved the quality of Gongsun Ce's soul.

Just as Gongsun Ce’s soul was ascending, a large amount of spiritual elements poured into Gongsun Ce’s soul, and the mental power and the state of unity between man and nature gained from practicing in the night world also entered his soul.

Gongsun Ce understood that it was the Qin Dynasty's Heavenly Dao that was helping him to integrate these forces.

The spiritual elements of the dragon clan, the martial arts of the Qin world, and the telekinesis of the Ever Night world, although expressed in different forms, all of them are the same: they are all powers derived from the soul.

Suddenly, Gongsun Ce's soul began to separate, and his true spirit turned into a core, and his spirit began to condense outside the core. At the same time, his image of Dharma was also undergoing subtle changes.

Dharmadhatu is the symbol of the power of the primordial spirit. Therefore, the state of unity between man and nature begins with the condensation of Dharmadhatu, and then the formation of the primordial spirit and its strengthening.

At this moment, the dark Confucian attire on Gongsun Ce began to change.

The dark-colored attire of the great scholar gradually turned golden and red, and finally transformed into a golden and red robe.

There is a blue dragon pattern embroidered on the back of the robe, and around the blue dragon pattern are bluish-white clouds representing pure energy.

In addition, there are dragon characters on the robes, representing the elements of earth, fire, water, wind and spirit, as well as the small seal character "儒" (ru) representing Confucianism.

On Gongsun Ce's head, the original jade crown turned into a golden imperial crown, with tassels fluttering in the wind, looking majestic and solemn.

Gongsun Ce's appearance also changed at this moment.

His appearance changed from that of a great scholar wearing his attire to one that was indistinguishable from Gongsun Ce at the moment.

His Dharma image then began to expand infinitely, as if to cover the entire world under his Dharma image. Warriors from all over the world were staring blankly at Gongsun Ce’s Dharma image in the air.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce's name as the Imperial Confucian scholar resounded throughout the world.

"The supreme Confucian scholar is Gongsun Tongming."
Countless Confucian students heard the call of the name of Emperor Confucian. They put down the books in their hands and looked up at the sky.

They saw Gongsun Ce's majestic and dignified figure, and also felt the powerful aura emanating from him.

Their hearts were filled with admiration and awe, as if they saw hope for the future of Confucianism.

Gongsun Ce floated in the air, feeling the gazes and breath from all directions.

He felt that his body was filled with endless luck and power, which came from Confucianism and from countless Confucian students.

Gongsun Ce suddenly realized how to use the power of luck.

By spending a certain amount of luck power, you can see the opponent's luck power, and then use the luck power to offset the opponent's luck.

However, Gongsun Ce did not realize how to use the power of luck to improve his cultivation.

Gongsun Ce felt that the power of his luck was constantly spreading and strengthening.

He understood that this was because he had established a deep connection with Confucianism and with countless Confucian scholars.

Their expectations of Confucianism and admiration for Gongsun Ce became the source of his luck, allowing him to continuously strengthen the power of his luck.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce's name as an imperial scholar also resounded throughout the world.

Gongsun Ce felt this world, and he could feel that his connection with the Qin world was becoming closer and closer, which was closer than that of an agent of Heaven. However, Gongsun Ce didn't know whether this was a good thing.

Just when Gongsun Ce announced the establishment of his religion, Mi Lian quietly walked to Nian Duan's side.

At this moment, Nian Duan was holding Mi Xin in his arms. Nian Duan had three reasons not to save her:
1. Not saving patients who need to go down the mountain for medical treatment
2. Those who went to the mountain to seek medical treatment were not treated
3. Duanmu’s family will not be saved

But when Nian Duan saw Mi Xin, she softened her heart, or rather, she decided to save someone in a roundabout way.

The person who came to seek medical treatment was Ying Bu, and she saved Mi Xin, so it did not violate the three rules of not saving people.

Doctors have a kind heart, and Nian Duan’s three rules of not saving people have been violated quite a few times.

The three things a doctor should not do reflect the doctor's original intention and is also an old tradition passed down by Bian Que.

Compared with Nian Duan, Bian Que has three more things he won't save, for a total of six things he won't treat:
First, arrogance and disregard for reason are simply incurable.

This means that any unreasonable patients who come to seek medical treatment will not be treated.

Second, valuing money over health is incurable.

It means that those who attach great importance to money will not be treated, refuse to pay the consultation fee or think that the price of medicine is too high. This is undoubtedly a lack of self-esteem. At the same time, they think that the doctor is cheating them. If they do not trust the doctor, the doctor will naturally not treat them.

Third, if one cannot afford adequate food and clothing, these three things are not under control.

This means that people who fail to wear appropriate clothing for the climate, or who make themselves sick by overeating or dieting excessively, will not be cured.

Because these patients do not have good living habits, they will relapse even after being cured.

Fourth, when yin and yang are combined and the stored qi is unstable, the four conditions cannot be cured.

This means that if you don't have enough ability, you cannot try to heal the other person.

Fifth, being too thin to take medicine is one of the five incurable diseases.

It means that the patient is so weak that he doesn't even have the strength to take medicine, which proves that he is terminally ill and cannot be cured.

Sixth, if you believe in witches but not doctors, six diseases cannot be cured.

It means that when you are sick, you don't trust doctors, but instead believe in useless witchcraft and folk remedies, which are not worth treating.

However, doctors are always influenced by the secular world. Even if they are clearly told that the patient is incurable, they will inevitably feel compassion or be forced by the other party to treat the patient.

At this moment, Nian Duan was looking at Mi Xin in his arms, and he couldn't help but think of Duanmu Rong. Duanmu Rong was also a cute little girl back then.

However, Duanmu Rong is in better health, while Mi Xin's health is quite poor.

Mi Xin's situation is similar to Gongsun Yan's. She has congenital deficiencies caused by premature birth. In other words, some of Mi Xin's organs are not fully developed.

It may not affect normal life, but it may make Mi Xin unable to live like a normal person.

Mi Xin is still young, so some of the impacts cannot be seen for the time being, but when the impacts appear, it is actually too late.

Nian Duan has seen many premature babies with various congenital deficiencies, so it is difficult to be sure about Mi Xin's future.

Nian Duan can only take care of Mi Xin at all times to prevent any accidents from happening.

At this moment, Nian Duan felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes. She turned her head and found that it was a little girl she had never seen before.

"Who are you?" Nian Duan had never met Mi Lian, so he didn't know that Mi Xin was Mi Lian's biological sister with the same father and mother.

"I'm Mi Lian, and she is my biological sister Mi Xin." Mi Lian tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her heart, but there was still a hint of sadness in her tone.

Ying Bu would not lie, so Nian Duan knew exactly what had happened: Changping Jun abandoned Mi Lian and fled Xianyang with the unborn Mi Xin.

The Qin law was strict, but even under the suppression of the Qin law, there was still a lot of darkness.

Many people have tested the law!

There is no way to change this because...

So Mi Lian, a weak woman and an underage girl, was left alone in Xianyang. It is still unknown what would have happened to her if she had not met Gongsun Ce.

Changping Jun was taking a gamble. He was betting that Ying Zheng would at least spare Mi Lian's life for the sake of their kinship. He was also betting that Mi Xin would be his son, so that his family line would not be cut off.

The death of Cheng Jiao did not cause Ying Zheng to be furious, and the death of Zhao Ji and Lao Ai's son in front of Ying Zheng did not make him very sad either.

Ying Zheng didn't care about the death of his relatives, but the betrayal of Lao Ai and Zhao Ji made Ying Zheng's heart even more depressed.

If Ying Zheng had not known about Changping Jun's betrayal in advance, he might have really massacred the mansions of Changping Jun and Changwen Jun in a rage.

After capturing Changping Jun, he would definitely use the most cruel punishment.

As for whether Mi Lian could survive, it is unknown. After all, how can the eggs in an overturned nest remain intact?
"Good boy." Nian Duan rubbed Mi Lian's head, "You must be very sad. If you really feel sad, just cry. Crying will make you feel better."

To Nian Duan's surprise, Mi Lian did not seem to want to cry.

"Can I see her?"

In response to Mi Lian's request, Nian Duan did not refuse. She bent down slightly so that Mi Lian could see Mi Xin's appearance clearly.

"That's great." Mi Lian raised her hand and poked Mi Xin's face, "Father chose you, mother also chose you. But why aren't you a boy?"

Mi Lian's smile was a little strange. If Mi Xin was a boy, she would feel somewhat comforted, but Mi Xin was a girl.

If Changping Jun had thrown away the silver and chosen gold, Mi Lian could still deceive himself that Changping Jun's choice was correct.

But Changping Jun threw away silver the size of a watermelon and picked up silver the size of a fist. How could people accept this?
Nian Duan has seen all the affairs of the world, so she can probably guess what Mi Lian is thinking.

But she really didn’t know how to comfort Mi Lian.

Nian Duan still remembers that she once passed by a village where there was a drowning pond full of drowned baby girls.

She could only say that Changping Jun had committed a sin. At the same time, she discovered that Mi Lian was actually well raised by Gongsun Ce. She was a little taller than her peers, and her figure had also changed a little.

In Nian Duan's opinion, this was the result of Gongsun Ce's good feeding of Mi Lian.

Girls in their puberty period will always grow faster than boys of the same age if they eat more meat, eggs and milk, supplement vitamins and get more sun exposure.

But in this era, how many families would raise a daughter like this?

Just when Mi Lian was emo, Xiao Meng also came near Chisongzi.

"Junior sister, our uncle is about to make a breakthrough and reach the state of unity between man and nature. Should we go back and congratulate him?" Chisongzi glanced at Xiaomeng. His thoughts were somewhat similar to Nianduan's. Gongsun Ce's feeding was very effective.

Although Xiaomeng was not fed often, Chisongzi could see that Xiaomeng was eating well during this period.

"I..." Xiao Meng glanced at Gongsun Ce who was high in the sky, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Don't force it." Chi Songzi smiled, "Just let it go. Even if Junior Sister didn't congratulate Master Uncle right away, I'm sure Master Uncle wouldn't mind.

Moreover, after the breakthrough, my uncle intends to send out invitations to various philosophers and schools of thought to attend the ceremony. Then my junior sister can return to the mountain with General Gongsun.

Besides, General Gongsun has the magical power of the Infinite Distance, so you can return to the mountain at any time, so don’t worry about it.”
