Hearing Xiaoliu's words, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but look at Xiaoliu in confusion. "Well, what does Deputy Captain Yan mean?"

In Mr. Zhu's opinion, although scholars were smart when they were young, they are now in a poor and poor manner. Even their ancestors have almost lost. Isn't this Fang Zhongyong written by Wang Anshi?

Looking at Mr. Zhu's puzzled eyes, Xiaoliu smiled, but he did not directly answer Mr. Zhu's question, but asked back.

"I wonder what Mr. Zhu thinks of this Confucianism?"

Mr. Zhu couldn't help but say contempt when he heard this.

"I have been studying the scriptures for a long time, but I don't understand the world. According to the ancients' arguments, I will use the family and country as a scheming, stick to the etiquette and law, and do not know how to adapt. If I am corrupt and despised, I will cause disaster to the world."

Mr. Zhu tried his best and every word was filled with despicable words. It can be seen that he really looked down on Confucianism.

However, when Xiao Liu heard Mr. Zhu's words, he asked curiously.

"Since that's the case, I wonder why Mr. Zhu is a close friend with Prefect Lu. I think this Prefect Lu should be a Confucian citizen?"

Xiao Liu's words were a little abrupt, but Mr. Zhu didn't care. He sighed softly at first, then looked out the window and said with some emotion.

"That's what happened more than 40 years ago. At that time, I had not abandoned Confucianism and Taoism, and he was still a young man with great enthusiasm. At that time, we were two..."

Mr. Zhu talked about his past with Prefect Lu, and Xiao Liu listened quietly.

When talking about the joyfulness, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but chuckled and said with a brisk tone; when talking about the sadness, he couldn't help but frown and sigh.

My classmates for ten years ago, either playing or grudges, one after another, one after another, all appeared in front of Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu couldn't help but recall his former campus life when he heard this. When he was moved by the scene, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the two crystal tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Since then, we two parted ways. I abandoned Confucianism and followed Taoism and traveled around the world. He passed the exam and entered the official career. But what is ridiculous is that in the second year of becoming the prefect, he left, and he left sadly!"

At the end, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Xiaoliu was originally very sad when he listened to Mr. Zhu's words, but Mr. Zhu's last words shocked him. "He left sadly?"

"Mr. Zhu, is this Prefect Lu..." Xiao Liu asked in surprise, but before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhu said.

"Dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth, everything is over. The deceased has passed away, and returning to heaven and earth is also a kind of liberation." Mr. Zhu said with a smile.

Then he looked at Xiaoliu and warned.

"Everyone says that the world of the world is dangerous and the hearts of the people are unpredictable. But I don't know that this officialdom is more dangerous than the world of the world. The higher the official position, the greater the danger, especially if you want to go against the current in this era, it is even more dangerous and dangerous."

When Xiaoliu heard this, he felt something and thanked him. "Xiaoliu understands, thank you for your advice!" Xiaoliu didn't expect that he had dug out such a shocking secret.

"Okay, the past is over. Aren't you going to say that my incompetent nephew?"

"Yes." Xiao Liu quickly calmed down and said. "Sir, since he was a Confucian scholar, he didn't know that there was a difference between this Confucian scholar."

When Mr. Zhu heard this, he looked at Xiaoliu and signaled him to continue speaking.

"Although Xiao Liu has a shallow knowledge, he has also heard of this Confucianism. There are also differences between gentlemen and villain Confucianism."

When Mr. Zhu heard this, he subconsciously chased his long beard and thought about it. However, when his hand touched his chin, he remembered that his long beard had been burned by Xiao Bei.

Mr. Zhu couldn't help but pinch his chin awkwardly and said.

"This statement comes from the Analects of Confucius, but Vice Captain Yan made this statement at this time. Could it be that my incompetent nephew, grandson, is it that he is a gentleman?"

After saying that, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

A gentleman and Confucian scholar can look up to astronomy above, geography below, and greed within it, and can bring all the people. Such people, not to mention the world, even in the ages, have never seen many people.

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Often the villain is a scholar, but the gentleman is a scholar in danger!"

"Well, what do you mean?" Mr. Zhu couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard Xiao Liu's words.

Xiao Liu said in detail.

"Although the scholar is mediocre and straightforward in normal times, he can only show off his own articles, and the poems he writes on weekdays are also very sour. According to these, he is afraid that he is not even a villain. However, the scholar also has his advantages. He is not afraid in the face of danger, and has strange plans in response to emergency situations. This can be said to be a person who can take on major events."

"Oh, how do you think?" Mr. Zhu asked in confusion.

"This..." Mr. Zhu's question directly asked Xiao Liu's lifeline.

Xiaoliu then remembered that Ji Wuming, Gongsun Wulong, Simpson and others had not come yet, and the scholar had never done anything great before. How could he give an example?

Mr. Zhu looked at Xiaoliu quietly. Xiaoliu hesitated for a while and had to change his words.

"If the breeze doesn't roar, it's already amazing. Please watch quietly. As long as three years or ten years, scholars will regain the glory of their ancestors."

Xiao Liu said it with great momentum and confidence.

But when Mr. Zhu sighed when he heard this, he chuckled and shook his head. He thought Xiaoliu was just defending the scholar and had no real basis.

However, he was not disgusted with Xiaoliu because the discussion with Xiaoliu made him feel very comfortable. Since his old friend died and his beloved disciple left, he had not talked about these things so happily with someone for a long time.

After all, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too high in seniority. In addition, he is a man of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and he is tall and friendly.

He looked at Xiao Liu, and there was a sense of being a friend of the ages.

Interested, he smiled.

"Since Vice Captain Yan said that his future is expected, then the future is clear. I think with my old body, I can still wait for the past ten years. I just hope that by then, I will be as Vice Captain Yan said."

"When the time comes, it will be as your sir!" Xiao Liu also responded firmly.

Seeing Xiaoliu like this, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but be more interested in Xiaoliu. He looked at Xiaoliu and asked curiously.

"I heard that Deputy Captain Yan has only been in the midst of a moonlight when he came to the Seven Heroes Town. I wonder why Deputy Captain Yan is so confident in my incredible nephew?"

Xiao Liu smiled and replied, "It's probably because he fell in love with each other at first sight, and he should appreciate each other."

Mr. Zhu listened to Xiaoliu's almost perfunctory answer and did not go into it in depth, so he changed the subject.

"I wonder how Vice Captain Yan thinks of this Xiao Bei?"

After listening to Mr. Zhu’s inquiry, Xiao Liu pondered for a while and replied.

"Sir, are you worried about the troubles of Beckham in the academy before? As Mr. said before, Beckham is lively and intelligent, and has a tough personality. If he can teach properly, he will become a great man in the future."

"Oh, Vice Captain Yan also thinks that Xiao Bei is talented? But at present, my teaching seems not suitable for Xiao Bei. If I teach as I did before, I am afraid that Xiao Bei will easily go astray?"

Mr. Zhu couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Bei's talent is extremely rare in his life, but his character is not good.

Xiao Liu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Mr. Zhu seemed to have something in his words, but although he felt that Mr. Zhu's words were a bit strange, Xiao Liu still answered as he said.

"Sir, why bother? In Xiaoliu's opinion, Mr. is afraid that he has made a decision. Xiaoliu once heard that the way of heaven is like a bow. If the high ones are suppressed, the lower ones are raised, the excess ones are damaged, and the insufficient ones are compensated."

"The Taoist way is not just about being born but not having, doing but not holding it, and long but not slaughtering it. This is also a kind of Taoist way."

Mr. Zhu smiled when he heard this, and he looked at Xiao Liu. "I didn't expect that Vice Captain Yan also had some understanding of my Taoist theory."

"I heard from the side that I'm showing off my skills in front of Mr. Yu today." Xiao Liu said humbly.

Mr. Zhu looked at Xiaoliu like this and couldn't help but look at Xiaoliu with interest.

"I had heard of Deputy Captain Yan's feat of killing thieves before, and thought Deputy Captain Yan must be a guest of heroes in the world. But when I saw him today, it was completely different from what I thought before. Deputy Captain Yan's behavior was elegant and his words were generous, and he was not like an ordinary rich man in the world." Mr. Zhu praised.

"Where is, sir, you are too proud." Xiao Liu hurriedly said modestly.
