Chapter 199: The Way of Speaking, Confucian Orthodoxy

The autumn wind blows.

Over the past six months, Xu Chunlin has been collecting various classics at Shangyin Academy, including but not limited to Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, miscellaneous studies, feng shui, yin and yang, the art of war, etc.

For Xu Chunlin, Shangyin Academy is a huge library of classics, which makes Xu Chunlin's "small treasury" rich.

What has always given Xu Chunlin a headache is the relationship between him and Zhang Fuyao. Zhang Fuyao insisted on accepting him as his disciple, and even chased and begged him.

The more unrestrained and arrogant Xu Chunlin was, the more Zhang Fuyao liked him, and she even called it his true nature and pure heart.

No matter what he said, he was always right. Xu Chunlin truly experienced the Confucian advantage of the tongue.

Well, don't you want me to bear the title of your disciple?

Then don't blame me for making trouble!
In order to anger Zhang Fuyao, Xu Chunlin once again brought out the Analects of Confucius. The Analects of Confucius in the world in the snow was the words of Zhang Fuyao, a classic that was passed down and compiled.

However, it has some similarities with the Analects of Confucius in previous lives, so Xu Chunlin adapted it very skillfully.

If people don’t know you but you don’t get angry, aren’t you a gentleman?
Lunyu: Some people don’t understand what I mean, but I don’t get angry. This is very gentlemanly.

A gentleman cannot be respected if he is not serious.

A saying: A gentleman cannot establish his prestige if he does not use heavy hands!

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

Lunyu: I like money, so it makes sense for me to take your money!

They come, the security.

Lunyu: Since we are here, let’s bury him here.

Zi does not talk about strangeness, strength, chaos, and gods.

Lunyu: The Master didn't want to talk, so he used his extraordinary strength to beat the man unconscious.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

Lun Yu: If I knew how to find you in the morning, you could die tonight.

.........

To this end, in order to convince them, Xu Chunlin organized a grand debate among great Confucian scholars, with the idea of ​​disrupting the meaning of Confucian classics, and debated with the scholars.

Many students lamented that it was a complete loss of civility, and that it was simply a weird and heretical theory, and some even cursed it out loud.

Parents are here, if you don't travel far, you must travel well.

Lunyu: Your parents are in my hands, you can't run away. Even if you run away, I have a way to bring you back!
The one who first made the figurines has no descendants.

Lunyu: The mastermind of this incident has been beaten to death by me.

Respect ghosts and gods but keep them at a distance.

A proverb: Once Master Zhang shows his power, even ghosts and gods will stay away from him in fear!
Knowing is knowing, knowing is not knowing, knowing.

Quote: Don’t ask too much about social affairs. The more you know, the faster you die.

I will not associate with those who are brave enough to fight a tiger or cross a river.

Lunyu: A person who can only fight a tiger with bare hands and cross the river alone is not worthy of fighting with me!

Wealth and honor gained through unrighteousness are like floating clouds to me.

Quote: Illegally acquired money is like floating clouds to me.

The son of a plowing ox has horns and is not suitable for use. You can leave it in the mountains and rivers even if you don't want to use it.

Lunyu: I wanted to use the horns of this cow but it refused to give them to me, so I used my supernatural powers to pull them off.

There are three hundred poems, and to sum them up in one word: pure thoughts.

Lunyu: As for those three hundred people who were studying the Book of Songs, I could intimidate them with just one sentence, and no one dared to have any dissenting thoughts.

…………

This adaptation made the disciples and priests of Shangyin Academy doubt their lives, and even Zhang Fuyao himself was overwhelmed.

Zhang Fuyao was dumbfounded: Is this really what I said? Why don't I remember it? But Xu Chunlin said it very logically: "Master Zhang is famous for his strength. He can walk on water without fear of dragons, and on land without fear of tigers and wolves. When he is angry, his breath shakes the sky, and he is invincible in the world."

And when the disciples of Shangyin Academy were debating on attacking Xu Chunlin, he told them very clearly that the Analects were the rules that Zhang Fuyao set for the underworld at that time, and whoever disobeyed would be beaten.

Zhang Fuyao (the dog) shook his head after hearing this. How could he not know how awesome he was back then!
If he was so powerful, why would he travel around the countries?

But for Xu Chunlin, Zhang Fuyao really had to admit it with a shameless face. Yes, what Li Bai's disciple said was right. Wow, a good Confucian classic was changed into this.

Many of the chief academic officers of the academies felt that their worldviews had collapsed. Was the Analects, which they had studied their entire lives, just a bunch of nonsense?

As soon as he opened his eyes, he became an orthodox Confucian!

Tired, destroy it!

I really don't want to go back to the drawing board!
However, Xu Weixiong looked at him strangely, because his younger brother Xu Chunlin had said such ridiculous words several years ago, and it was he who spread the name of Lunyu.

"Sir, do you know my younger brother?" Xu Weixiong asked.

Xu Chunlin's mind raced, and he immediately came up with an explanation, beating his chest and stamping his feet, saying, "Of course, I met your brother once before, and we became close friends. In some matters, great minds think alike, and it's a shame that we met too late!"

"Just talking about this piece of writing, it is truly insightful, every word is a gem, not a single word can be changed, not a single sentence can be discarded!" Xu Chunlin pretended to admire.

Xu Weixiong was stunned on the spot, feeling as if he had found the culprit. Could his brother's joking remarks really become Confucian orthodoxy?
It's as if the world is playing a huge joke on everyone.

I wonder if Zhang Fuyao would be so angry that he would go directly to the Beiliang Palace to argue if he knew the source of this statement.

Of course, for the sake of his brother's safety, Xu Weixiong said that it was impossible to tell him. On the contrary, he would keep this secret tightly.

She was really afraid that the students of Shangyin Academy would go to find Xu Chunlin, who was uneducated.

Over the past six months, Xu Weixiong would come to find Li Bai as her pseudonym whenever she had time. In addition to her own unwillingness to accept the result, she was more interested in getting him to join the Beiliang Palace.

Following Xu Weixiong came the "suck-up" Zhao Kai.

This created a strange situation.

Xu Weixiong "chased" Li Bai everywhere, and Zhao Kai "chased" Xu Weixiong everywhere.

Zhao Kai held a plate of fresh fruit and said to Xu Weixiong, "I just picked these fruits. Have a taste."

Xu Weixiong took one, her pretty eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and she slapped it in front of Xu Chunlin. She was always very tough, but now she had learned how to "please" others, but she could only respond with a cold "eat".

Zhao Kai was filled with envy when he saw this.

Although he knew that Xu Weixiong probably didn't have that kind of feelings for Li Bai, he felt bad watching his "feelings" being spoken by another man.

Xu Chunlin: Haha, those who bootlick the dog will not die well!
Every time at this moment, Xu Chunlin felt as refreshed as if he had drunk an iced drink!
Sometimes, Xu Chunlin would deliberately act more intimate, making Zhao Kai envious and jealous.

In Xu Chunlin's opinion, his second sister is nothing special and he often forgets that he is now Li Bai.

However, he overlooked the blush on Xu Weixiong's ears and the strange light in her eyes when she looked at "Li Bai".

Which girl doesn’t admire a romantic man?
The man I'm looking for must be either smarter or stronger than me. Otherwise, how can he conquer me?

And it just so happens that Li Bai has both.

After being abused too many times and it becomes impossible to catch up with someone, your strong desire to win will turn into admiration and respect!
Xu Weixiong was a gifted girl since childhood, and her talent and skills were already evident at an early age.

She followed Yao Jian to Beiliang and drew geographical maps. She was able to write amazing poems at the age of ten, could wield a sword and kill people at the age of thirteen, and entered Shangyin Academy at the age of sixteen.

She is an excellent chess player, with the saying "Xu Shi Qie Shisan" being her strength. She is also good at leading troops and has first-rate swordsmanship.

Due to her outstanding talents and skills, the Liyang royal family was very wary of her, fearing that she would pose a threat to the royal family after commanding the Beiliang Iron Cavalry.

Therefore, in order to limit her scope of activities and influence, she was arranged to study at Shangyin Academy.

And that’s just one of the reasons.

In the beginning, in order to maintain the stability of Beiliang, Xu Xiao married Xu Zhihu to Jiangnan Dao and sent Xu Weixiong to Shangyin Academy, also in order to win the support of scholars all over the world for Beiliang.

Xu Weixiong lived up to expectations and dominated the Shangyin Academy, but he was often forced to do so.

She commented on the achievements of the world's writers, and when she played ten games on the lake, she received half praise and half criticism.

She was the only one who endured all the sharp insults. In Xu Weixiong's eyes, those people were the fence-sitters who changed their minds the fastest. Their character was like weeds, bending again and again.

Now, in her eyes, there is only one person, who is proud and confident, and has the most romantic character in the world!
