Chapter 89 Wen Gong Zhaowen erected a statue of Xu Qingxiao and secretly visited Chen Cang.
Extremely vicious [Added update for the simplest]
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
The place of literary palace.
Seven great scholars sat quietly in the main hall of the Wen Palace.
Sixteen Confucians sat at the back.
They are all the core people of Wei Wen Palace and their true confidants.
At the head of the hall is an old man. He is very old, but there is no turbidity in his eyes.
This is a fourth-grade Confucian in the Great Wei Dynasty, a great Confucian in heaven and earth, and as early as sixty years ago, he was already in the realm of great Confucianism in heaven and earth, and has been stuck in this realm.
If he takes a step forward, he will be a semi-saint.
Inheriting Zhu Sheng's intention, it is a pity that this step has been stopped for ninety years.
The lifespan of a Confucian scholar is average, and even the lifespan of any system is average in the past. Even if it is a warrior, before the seventh level, the most is to strengthen the body and be immune to all diseases.
It is difficult to extend life span. Generally speaking, the life span of a great scholar is about 120 years old. If he practices Qi nourishing techniques and takes some elixirs to extend his life, he will reach the limit of 150 years old.
The great scholar of heaven and earth in front of me is currently one hundred and thirty-nine years old. If he does not break the holy realm within ten years, his life will come to an end.
Inside the main hall.
Everyone was sitting upright like students.
"The great scholar of the Zhengming Dynasty has just received news that when Xu Qingxiao made up his mind, he had various visions. He received the robe of heaven and earth, the jade crown of heaven and earth, and was recognized by heaven and earth."
"I'm afraid this is not good news for us."
Someone's voice rang out, telling what happened just now.
Xu Qingxiao's intention was successful, and the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty knew it immediately, but they did not know what happened next, as the news came.
Naturally, I had to go into the Wen Palace and listen to the opinions of this great scholar of heaven and earth.
Xu Qingxiao and Zhu Sheng's lineage have formed a feud, and the holy statue destroyed itself. This is the cause of disaster. Many Confucian scholars are crying outside, hating their own incompetence, causing the holy statue to be destroyed by madness.
This hatred is as deep as the sea, and I originally wanted to wait until Xu Qingxiao came to Beijing to trouble Xu Qingxiao again.
But they never thought that Xu Qingxiao would be recognized by heaven and earth, which would disrupt their position.
After all, if Xu Qingxiao obeys God's will, how can they deal with it?
"Yes, the great Confucian scholar of the Zhengming Dynasty. Some people in the literary world today even doubt that today, five hundred years later, the Wei Dynasty will produce another saint. It is said that Xu Qingxiao has only been enrolled for more than a month."
"With such extraordinary talent, people outside today say he is the reincarnation of a saint.
"Only a month after entering school, he made his mind clear at the seventh level. This speed is indeed too fast. If it weren't for the fact that Confucianism and Taoism don't have different skills, otherwise I would suspect that he has practiced different skills."
The Confucian scholars discussed and expressed their concerns.
However, at the head of the palace, the great scholar Zhengming shook his head and said.
"No, no."
When the voice sounded, everyone was quiet and listened to him speak slowly.
"I have discussed this matter with several seniors and reached corresponding conclusions. Now I will answer them one by one."
"As I said before, Xu Qingxiao clearly meant something and said it wrong. This is a good thing, but he knew it wrong and said it wrongly. This is the problem."
"Do you think that the blessing of heaven and earth represents heaven and earth? Then I am also a great scholar of heaven and earth, do I also represent heaven and earth?"
"No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. I am not a saint, and I make mistakes. He, Xu Qingxiao, is not a saint, so he will naturally make mistakes."
"He is a great talent. This is undeniable. I also appreciate his talent. However, if his intentions are different and his words are different, he is destined to run counter to Zhu Sheng's lineage."
"And we don't want to put him to death, but we want to educate him and let him know that what he means is wrong and what he says is wrong."
The great scholar Zhengming spoke up, his tone was calm, and he explained what the Zhu Sheng lineage was currently going to do and how to do it.
As soon as he said this, all the Confucian scholars suddenly woke up.
Indeed, the moment Xu Qingxiao understood her intention, everyone was shocked at first, and then a little dissatisfied.
Later, a real big shot spoke up and identified Xu Qingxiao as the enemy of Zhu Sheng's lineage.
But this big shot, the dragon, has no head or tail. He is as high as sitting on a cloud. It is natural that he looks down on Xu Qingxiao.
But the problem is that everyone is still a little puzzled and confused, especially later, after Xu Qingxiao made his speech, he was blessed by various visions and was recognized by heaven and earth.
This silenced everyone. Being recognized by heaven and earth meant that he could no longer reprimand Xu Qingxiao for disrespecting God's will and disobeying the saint.
After all, Heaven is greater than Saint. In other words, everything Xu Qingxiao did was reasonable and reasonable.
What the great Confucian Zhengming said just now completely gave everyone a new way of thinking.
Yes, you, Xu Qingxiao, have been recognized by heaven and earth. We have to admit that you are indeed a great talent, a scholar, and your status.
But this does not mean that I admit that your intention is right and that your words are correct.
Just like Buddhism and Taoism, how many years have they been arguing? Can you say that Buddhism is right? You can't say that Buddhism is wrong.
It can only be said that your idea is right, but your direction is wrong, or there is something wrong with some of your ideas and is not suitable for the world's literati. This is a good place for debate.
If they can argue, then everything is fine. What is Confucianism and Taoism good at? Isn’t it just arguing? If Buddhism wasn’t a bit weird, in the past few years, they could have participated in the disputes between Taoism and Buddhism.
"I'm waiting for Mingyi."
Everyone nodded, understanding.
Everyone present is above the seventh level and has understood Zhu Sheng's intention, so they worship Zhu Sheng fanatically, not just them.
How many scholars in the world respect Zhu Sheng? How many scholars regard Zhu Sheng as the only true god in their hearts? And this is the case with Confucianism and Taoism, as long as the meaning is clear.
So even if you are completely enlightened and follow Zhu Sage to the death, you cannot be shaken. If you are shaken, it proves that you have not understood Zhu Sage's meaning at all, and you will have to start practicing again.
After hearing everyone's answers, Master Zhengming looked very calm and then continued.
"As for the theory of visions, it is the theory of genius."
"I am a great scholar of heaven and earth. I can read at the age of three, compose poetry at the age of five, enter the tenth level of Confucianism and Taoism at the age of ten, enter the ninth level within half a year, enter the eighth level within a year, and understand my meaning in the same year."
"Sixty years ago, when I became a great scholar in the world, I also had a vision, with flowers falling from the sky and sages chanting sutras. Is this vision weaker than Xu Qingxiao?"
He spoke slowly and asked everyone.
"Xu Qingxiao is indeed a great talent, but I don't think he can become a saint. Within five hundred years, there will be no saint in this world. Maybe you will understand when you reach my level."
He was very determined, his tone was extremely determined.
As soon as these words were said, everyone came back to their senses. Yes, the righteous scholar in front of them was a talent that shocked the past and the present a few decades ago.
He is also known as a genius through the ages, let alone this great scholar of heaven and earth. Among the seven great scholars sitting in front, which one is not a genius among geniuses?
How prosperous they were when they were young? A piece of paper can determine a mountain and a river, and an article weighs a thousand catties.
No one who can become a great Confucian has a bad mastery. Everyone can write books, and even a few can be respected by literati all over the world.
Just like the great Confucian Yan Lei, his book "The Policy of Strict Governance of the Country" was also a peerless article, but that was more than thirty years ago.
It's just that people like to forget the past.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the great scholar Zhengming continued to speak.
"The so-called vision is basically a qualification. The better the qualification, the stronger the vision. Xu Qingxiao has great talents. As I just said, this cannot be denied, but those who can become great Confucians all have something unusual. He Xu Qingxiao is A great talent, perhaps better than us."
"But he can't beat the saint. Remember, we do it not because of ourselves, but because of the saint. It's not because we don't want to accept great talents. On the contrary, we are more willing to accept great talents like Xu Qingxiao."
"It's just that Xu Qingxiao went astray. As Zhu Sheng's disciples, we also respect Zhu Sheng's words. We gave Xu Qingxiao a chance to persuade him to turn around and give up his bad intentions. He does not respect Zhu Sheng's meaning because he does not understand Zhu Sheng's meaning."
"This is what I mean, and what I mean above. If Xu Qingxiao is willing to give up his current intention and become a disciple of Zhu Sheng, all the past problems can be wiped out. We are also willing to erect a statue for him for ten years, which can be regarded as making up for the hurt of his abandonment."
The great scholar of the Zhengming Dynasty said this.
In his opinion, Xu Qingxiao was not a rebel against the saint. After all, heaven and earth recognized it. If he disrespected the saint, it would not be justified, so he turned his attention to Xu Qingxiao because he did not understand Zhu Sheng's intention.
And everyone should give Xu Qingxiao a chance. As long as Xu Qingxiao is willing, he can come to the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty to study Zhu Sheng's ideas and give up his own opinions, although doing so will be very harmful to Confucianism and Taoism.
But I am also willing to erect a statue for you and be respected and worshiped by scholars all over the world. In this way, it can be regarded as a huge compensation.
After all, if you want to erect a statue, you must be a great Confucian of heaven and earth at that time, or a great Confucian who has passed away. Hundreds of years later, his works will be respected by the world, and he will be promoted to a great Confucian of heaven and earth. Only then can you erect a statue.
So when they heard that a statue of Xu Qingxiao was to be erected, everyone's expressions changed, especially the seven great Confucians. As great Confucians, they were not qualified to erect a statue, but they were allowed to erect a statue of Xu Qingxiao? This made them somewhat unhappy in their hearts.
But thinking that Xu Qingxiao's words were harmful to Zhu Sheng's lineage, I was satisfied to persuade him to do good as compensation.
After all, the intention has been made clear, and if it is abandoned, it will be more terrifying than a warrior abandoning his cultivation.
After all, self-defeated cultivation can be re-established. This is a matter of cultivation method and the aura of heaven and earth.
And abandoning intention means that you give up your own gentlemanly intention and then learn other things. But what if you don't understand it? Then you may not understand it in your life, and you will be stuck at the seventh level.
"We Confucian and Taoist people need to know that one level has one level of heaven. Starting from the seventh level of Confucianism and Taoism, one level is better than one level of heaven."
"Seven levels of clear meaning, six levels of establishing one's mind can lead to a true Confucian, and five levels of writing can lead to a great Confucianism. As for the latter, it is even more difficult to reach the sky. I have been a great Confucian for twenty years after I entered school, and then became a great Confucian in the next twenty years. Prove the realm of great Confucianism in heaven and earth."
"But in this realm, I have been paused for ninety years. Over the years, I have read poetry and books and read books all over the world. Among the mountains and seas of books, every person who can be recorded is not an astonishing talent. ?”
"Which of them is not a great talent in the world? But in the end? How many saints are there in this world? They are only one palm in number. People are ignorant and can only see the present but not the future. When I became a great Confucian."
"People all over the world say that I want to become a saint, but what will be the result? So don't mythologize Xu Qingxiao, and don't underestimate Xu Qingxiao. His great talent is undeniable. It would be great if he can carry forward his ideas for Zhu Sheng."
"But if you cannot carry forward Zhu Sheng's ideas, do not insist on your own will, and refuse to listen to repeated dissuasion, then we can only let him perish."
When the great scholar of the Zhengming Dynasty said this, he stopped talking any further.
His meaning has been made very clear.
How many earth-shaking people have come from ancient times to the present? If you look through books, look at ancient books, take out historical records and read them, you will find out which of the people who can leave a name is not a great talent in this world?
Be it a hero, an emperor, a great Confucian, or a martial king, but what will happen in the end?
How many people in the same line of reading can become saints? Just five.
When there are countless heroes and the world is in power, how many emperors are there?
After all, people in the world are ignorant. They only see the shock in front of them, but cannot see the future. If they can become saints if they have a vision, then they have already become saints.
Therefore, he asked Zhu Sheng's disciples not to think that Xu Qingxiao was too far away from a saint just because Xu Qingxiao had some visions and was recognized by heaven and earth.
Don't talk about saints. Nowadays, it is just clear intention. The next level is to establish the heart. The clear intention is earth-shattering. It is impossible for you to establish the mind to be earth-shattering, right?
After establishing the mind, there is also the establishment of books, writing books for the world's literati to read. This is the real difficulty. You really don't have a high talent to write a book. You have to have experience and insights before you can write a book.
Otherwise, if you write a book casually, it will not be recognized by heaven and earth, and you will still not be able to become a great Confucian.
"We respect the words of the great Confucian."
At this moment, all the Confucian scholars smiled, their knots in their hearts were opened, and what they heard today would be immediately told to others until it reached the ears of all Zhu Sheng's disciples, helping them to untie their knots.
Xu Qingxiao is a great talent, but it's a pity that he has gone astray. If they can correct the chaos and abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, they, Zhu Sheng, are willing to accept it and give Xu Qingxiao a chance to change his ways. But if Xu Qingxiao persists in his obsession, then they won't be blamed.
Based on this intention, there are enough reasons to have a good debate with Xu Qingxiao.
More importantly, if these remarks spread, it will make Zhu Sheng's lineage even more selfless.
You Xu Qingxiao insulted Saint Zhu, you Xu Qingxiao scolded Zhu Sheng's disciples, and Xu Qingxiao even promised to compete with me, Zhu Sheng. However, I am not angry, but instead invite you to come and see and study.
Because we know that you are a great talent, but you have just gone astray. We will give you the opportunity to study hard and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Doesn't this make the Zhusheng lineage selfless and tall?
This must be publicized.
Of course, as for not being angry? It's impossible not to be angry. Most of the disciples were very angry. After all, this involved their beliefs. But their vision was too low and they couldn't see what they saw above. Naturally, they felt angry and resentful.
understand.
But no matter what, originally Xu Qingxiao's clear intention was to deal a blow to the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty, but with these words, all problems were easily resolved, and instead the disciples of Zhu Sheng all over the world believed and respected Zhu Sheng even more.
Everyone left with smiles on their faces, and after these people left, Zhengming Daru's voice sounded again.
"Jing'an, tomorrow I will go to the palace in person to see His Majesty. This matter ends here."
He spoke slowly and said this.
The latter immediately bowed.
"Thank you teacher."
Everyone could hear what this meant. In court the day before yesterday, the empress said that if Xu Qingxiao understood her intention, she would agree to Sun Jing'an's resignation and return to her hometown.
But if he really resigns and returns to his hometown, it will be a huge blow to their Confucianism and Taoism. After all, this is a great Confucian who has great prestige and power in the court.
If he leaves, many things will have to change, which is equivalent to wasting ten years of hard work. Naturally, Wei Wengong will not agree.
"Okay, back off."
The great scholar Zhengming spoke, and everyone retreated.
Half an hour later, a message came from the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, informing the world.
The general meaning is very simple. It has been found out that the incident between Xu Qingxiao and Yan Lei was just a misunderstanding. To this extent, both parties are at fault, but Yan Lei is at greater fault. As a great scholar, he is at odds with his younger generation.
Because of his lack of morality, he was punished to spend three months in solitary confinement in the Wen Palace, copy hundreds of sacred texts, and give them to academies in various prefectures in Changping County. This was regarded as a punishment. Although Xu Qingxiao was arrogant, he was excusable.
It is just a clear statement, which is too extreme, but I think Xu Qingxiao is too young and has only been in school for more than a month, so he can still teach. I hope Xu Qingxiao will give up the current meaning and current words, come to the Great Wei Wen Palace, study the saints well, and read more saints.
He wrote a letter in order to change his ways. If Qingxiao was willing to turn around and be safe, the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty would also be willing to erect a statue of him as compensation.
When Zhao Wen was published, it immediately caused a stir in the literary world of the Wei Dynasty.
After many disciples of Zhu Sheng learned about this, their first reaction was not surprise, but anger.
"How virtuous and capable is Xu Qingxiao that he can erect a statue?"
"He slandered the saint and even made arrogant remarks. Now, erect a statue of him? We are not convinced."
"If that's the case, then I've also slandered the saint. Can you erect a statue of me?"
"Xu Qingxiao threatened our whole family with words, which made the higher-ups have to make concessions. She is really as scheming as the sea."
"Those gentlemen in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty are all too kind. Xu Qingxiao even rides on their faces, but they still hope that they can correct their mistakes after realizing their mistakes. Alas, Zhu Sheng's lineage is too kind-hearted. If I prove Confucianism, I will never
It’s impossible to agree.”
"Yes, those great scholars are all too kind-hearted. A mere Xu Qingxiao, are you still afraid of him?"
This was the first reaction of most literati. They were extremely angry and believed that erecting a statue of Xu Qingxiao was too flattering and was not necessary at all.
Is Xu Qingxiao worthy?
Not worthy at all.
But soon, as the above meaning was conveyed, the literati of the Zhusheng lineage in the world suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is. The artistic conception of these great Confucians is extraordinary. When others slander me, humiliate me, and slander me, I laugh it off and instead give them benefits. I appreciate their talent and hope that they will realize their mistakes and correct themselves. They are indeed worthy of being great Confucians."
"Yes, I was a little extreme before, but now that I think about it, it is true. The statue of Xu Qingxiao is naturally unworthy, but this is a lesson Zhu Sheng and the Great Confucian taught me. I have no respect for the saint, but if I have talent, I am willing to give him a chance, and
We respect saints, and if you have talent, the benefits will be endless."
"The Great Confucian is indeed a great Confucian, and we should pay homage to him."
"I just said, why is it like this? It turns out there is this reason. Zhu Sheng's lineage is really the lineage of saints. I admire you."
"I admire you."
After the literati all over the world learned about it, they immediately started talking about it. They understood the truth and admired the great Confucians of Zhu Sheng's lineage even more.
As for Xu Qingxiao, she has some other opinions.
"I, a great scholar from the lineage of Zhu Sheng, have good intentions in giving Xu Qingxiao face like this. I also hope that he will have self-awareness."
"Well, I hope Xu Qingxiao will not let down the great scholar. If he is willing to give up his will, we are also willing to accept him."
"I hope so."
This is the idea of Zhu Sheng's disciples all over the world. They think that the Confucian's concession shows the demeanor of a saint's disciples. But if Xu Qingxiao doesn't know what to do, then that's a shame.
When the news came out, the first person to receive it was Wei Jingdu.
After all, the Wen Palace is in Kyoto, and all the princes and princes have learned this news.
Inside the Anguo Duke's Mansion.
An Guogong sat on the Taishi chair, the rest of the tribe sat on both sides, and the third generation stood behind him.
"The Great Wei Wen Palace is really disgusting. These Confucian scholars can actually come up with such a way to solve this matter."
"Obviously they were at fault first, and Xu Qingxiao was forced to clarify his intentions. Now in their mouths, they say that there is something wrong with Yan Lei, but they ignore the serious issues and make Xu Qingxiao give up."
"It is said that his name compensates for the standing statue, using retreat to make progress, and promoting Zhu Sheng's lineage to make everyone like a saint. However, it invisibly belittles Xu Qingxiao, causing the world to misunderstand, and even puts Xu Qingxiao into despair again."
"If Xu Qingxiao agrees to give up, he has no backbone. If Xu Qingxiao doesn't agree, then it will give them an excuse to angrily accuse Xu Qingxiao of not knowing how to advance or retreat, not knowing what is good or bad, ruthless, ruthless, ruthless!"
In the lobby, a young man couldn't help but speak. He was also young and the grandson of the Duke of the country. He naturally knew some right and wrong and could see through the hidden meaning of the announcement issued by the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty at a glance.
When he learned the meaning, he couldn't help but flew into a rage. He was so angry that he was also disgusted by this article.
"Yeah, I didn't expect these Confucian scholars to be so vicious. They minimized their own problems and made them trivial. Although they didn't say that Xu Qingxiao disrespected the Holy Will."
"But the words in it are always misleading and wrong. I hope that Xu Qingxiao will realize his mistakes and change them, and become a saint himself, but Xu Qingxiao will become a bad guy? It's amazing!"
"No wonder I would rather offend a kid than a Confucian scholar. He can talk about life and death even if he opens his mouth. I am really irritating, and I really want to fight for Xu Qingxiao's injustice."
The younger generation spoke up, indignant, since they knew that their grandfather had helped Xu Qingxiao in the court.
And Xu Qingxiao also understood that, even after making such a big fuss, they developed a good impression of Xu Qingxiao.
First, Xu Qingxiao was straightforward and rebuked the Confucian scholars. They themselves could not stand the Confucian scholars. They were very satisfied with what Xu Qingxiao did and it was to their liking.
Secondly, An Guo Gong helped Xu Qingxiao, so Xu Qingxiao will naturally remember his gratitude. He will definitely come to their An Guo Gong's house in the future, and will probably become one of their own, so it is normal to have a good impression in advance.
It is precisely because of these two points that they were so angry and angry when they saw the announcement from the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty.
Fight the injustice for Xu Qingxiao.
But after they finished saying this, the hall fell silent. After a while, An Guogong's voice sounded.
"Have you said enough?"
"Are you done?"
He spoke in a calm voice, but it made everyone afraid to speak.
When everyone was completely quiet, An Guogong's voice continued to sound.
"You have been in the palace since childhood, and most of you already have important positions. I thought you should know some of the rules of the court."
"What I didn't expect is that you are still so stupid."
Anguo spoke openly and scolded everyone, making them even more silent. However, there were also some who were confused and did not dare to ask questions.
"You just said that these Confucian scholars are vicious and unscrupulous?"
"On the contrary, I think they did the right thing. Besides, is this your first time meeting these Confucian scholars?"
"Remember, in the imperial court and in the capital of the Wei Dynasty, there is never anything right or wrong, only interests."
"Everyone has their own position. If they admit their mistake in this matter, what will the scholars in the world do?"
"Will they be convinced? They won't be convinced, because saints cannot be insulted."
"And in this matter, they did make a mistake in the first place, but what's wrong? As long as it's not a big mistake, there won't be any problem."
"Using this method to force the enemy into a desperate situation is a truly smart person. He would never say that he would put himself in a desperate situation?"
Anguo spoke openly, word for word, and made these three generations of descendants even more silent.
But there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Indeed, everyone has his own position. Xu Qingxiao has Xu Qingxiao’s position, and he, An Guogong, has his own position.
What are you looking at to help you or not to help you? What you look at is profit. Above the court, helping Xu Qingxiao is not because of how important Xu Qingxiao is to you.
Instead, Xu Qingxiao was used to suppress this group of Confucian officials. As for Xu Qingxiao's great talent, this was considered unintentional. He showed his own strength and his own interests.
Then he can make friends with Xu Qingxiao and give Xu Qingxiao some guidance, because Xu Qingxiao can bring benefits to his lineage in the future.
That's all.
Where in the world are there friends at first sight? Even between a man and a woman, the so-called love at first sight is nothing more than thinking that the other person is handsome or good-looking.
In the court, to talk about friends? To talk about right and wrong? To talk about right and wrong? Is this ridiculous? Extremely ridiculous! Even extremely stupid.
Being an official does not necessarily mean that you have to do whatever it takes, but you must see everything clearly and don't judge it by some inexplicable things.
Because in many things, there is no right or wrong, only positions and interests.
"What grandpa taught me is that my grandchildren understand."
After An Guogong finished reprimanding everyone, someone opened his mouth and lowered his head to admit his mistake, and the others followed suit.
"Father, you have said so much, what is your attitude? Don't I want to touch Xu Qingxiao?"
Finally, someone from the second generation spoke. They could understand An Guogong's thoughts, but they didn't understand what An Guogong was thinking.
Should we help Xu Qingxiao? Or should we not help Xu Qingxiao?
An Guogong glanced at the other party, and then slowly spoke.
"This matter has been resolved by these Confucian scholars, if my father's guess is not wrong."
"I think someone has already entered the palace to intercede with His Majesty. The Palace of Wei Wen is reluctant to let Sun Jing'an retire and return home."
"So, so far, the only troublesome person in this matter is Xu Qingxiao. He is once again in crisis. But fortunately, he has made it clear that ordinary scholars are not qualified to talk to him."
"He will definitely come to the capital of the Wei Dynasty in a few days. In this case, Jing'er, you send someone to rush me thousands of miles away and prepare a gift. Remember, the gift should not be too much, just say it is from me."
"I'm inviting him to come to Kyoto and come and sit in our Anguo Mansion."
"Xu Qingxiao is a great talent, but you don't have to think too clearly about what kind of person he is until you meet him."
"If he is really capable, I don't mind bringing him here. At worst, I can find a granddaughter to marry him and we can have a marriage."
"If he is just talented but not wise, then forget it and just treat it as a chance encounter."
An Guogong expressed his thoughts.
At this point, the matter is finally over. The Great Wei Wen Palace has also admitted his mistake and punished Yan Lei. Although the behavior is disgusting, from the perspective of the Great Wei Wen Palace, this is right.
And it's absolutely right.
No one who can stay in the imperial court is stupid, and no one will get hung up on anything. It's best for now.
It's nothing more than Xu Qingxiao facing another choice.
But these are not important things.
We still have to wait until Xu Qingxiao comes to talk about everything.
"I understand, what you mean, father, is that you won't fight in the court tomorrow."
The other party nodded, understanding the meaning.
But the next moment, Duke An Guo raised his eyebrows and looked at his son.
"Who says I can't fight?"
"Not only can I argue, but I also want to scold these bad scholars. Such a God-given opportunity, if I don't scold them, won't I miss them in vain?"
"These guys are cunning and insidious. They disguise themselves as saints. They obviously lost, but they still insist on pretending that they are magnanimous and forgive Xu Qingxiao?"
"Would you like to see if I will spray this bunch of shit when I go to court tomorrow?"
Duke An Guo cursed.
Basically, Confucian officials have been scolding them for not doing this or that, and as long as they say the wrong thing, they will be whipped to death endlessly.
Now that he finally has this opportunity, he still doesn't scold him? Is he saving it for the New Year?
Everyone: "."
At this moment, a servant came running over very quickly, panting.
"Master, master, I saw several princes outside just now sending people to buy gifts and dragging them away by the carload. They said they were giving gifts to Xu Qingxiao."
As this voice sounded, An Guogong couldn't help but stand up immediately.
"Okay, these bastards came to me in the morning and asked me not to give gifts, but to show off as a prince, but they didn't expect that they all went to give gifts themselves?"
"Quick, Jing'er, prepare more gifts and send them to Xu Qingxiao. Speed up and send them by flying boat. Don't be late to these old bastards."
Upon hearing this, Duke An was stunned.
The reason why he said this just now was entirely because he had negotiated with other princes, and everyone meant it.
Don't be too nice to Xu Qingxiao, and don't give gifts or anything like that. After all, he is the Duke of the country, and everyone is a respectable official.
No matter how good Xu Qingxiao is, how good can she be?
At that time, Duke An Guo thought it made sense, but he still kept a careful eye on it and asked his son to prepare a gift, not too much, just as a courtesy.
But he didn't expect that these bastards would go behind their backs and rush to deliver them one by one?
Okay, okay, okay, what a bunch of bastards.
An Guo Gong was angry, he was really angry, and there was no other reason for it. Who was Xu Qingxiao? He could conclude by singing "Man Jiang Hong" that Xu Qingxiao would be in charge of military expeditions in the future, and he was one of their military attachés.
You said you don't want to win over? This is definitely impossible. He wants to directly win over Xu Qingxiao.
However, this morning, I had a discussion with several princes and princes, and everyone said that you should not be too direct in your approach, lest others look down on you.
Come to think of it, that's why I pretend to be so arrogant in front of my children and grandchildren.
What I didn't expect was that these guys would actually do something like this.
Make yourself miserable.
As expected, soldiers never tire of deceit, these common men.
Thinking of this, An Guogong couldn't help but walk out of the door, furious.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"Grandpa, where are you going?"
Duke An Guo didn't even look back.
"Go and reason!"
The voice sounded, and everyone was silent again, because they knew what An Guogong said.
at the same time.
Nanyu Mansion.
After Xu Qingxiao made it clear, all the people went back. It was Xu Qingxiao who took the initiative to ask everyone to go back.
Since ancient times, civil unrest is no small matter. No matter what reason you have, gathering people to make trouble is a serious crime of beheading.
But he made it clear and the people did not make trouble, but gathered together to avenge him.
Judging from the current situation in the court, it is impossible to do anything too strict.
So Xu Qingxiao immediately asked everyone to go back, which could be regarded as a timely rescue to avoid causing greater trouble.
The people also listened very much to Xu Qingxiao's words and went back and did whatever they wanted, but they knew that if the emperor's decree was not issued, the matter would not be completed in one day.
In the Li Mansion.
Xu Qingxiao rested quietly in her room.
But actually he entered the Heaven and Earth Palace.
Now that the meaning has been clarified at the seventh level, it is time to forge new instruments and new texts.
Inside the Palace of Heaven and Earth.
"Brother Xu, the meaning of the sage is really shocking to the past and the present, Chao Ge admires him."
When he saw Xu Qingxiao, he saluted with a song and praised Xu Qingxiao's qualifications.
"It's only the seventh rank. Brother Chaoge has overrated it. Confucianism and Taoism are the first rank and the highest level. Only then did I understand the meaning of this sentence. No matter how good your qualifications are, if you don't understand it carefully in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to advance to the first rank in your life.
"
Xu Qingxiao returned the gift, and at the same time he was self-aware.
He has already achieved the seventh level of clear intention.
But he has not done it yet at the sixth level, and it is even more difficult to make a statement. This statement does not mean what I want to do or what I want to do in my life.
It's about making a statement from the heart, otherwise why would you make a statement, that is, you can do whatever you want?
"Brother Xu is so talented and so calm, Brother Yu is a little envious."
Chaoge said with emotion that what he said was true. He was indeed a little envious of Xu Qingxiao. He had already made it clear after more than a month of enrollment.
Moreover, it is clearly the intention of a saint. In this way, he still has an extraordinary character, which really makes people sigh.
But at this moment, Chaoge continued.
"Brother Xu is here to carve new inscriptions and cast new weapons, right?"
Chao Ge asked.
"Well, I have been promoted to the seventh level. I am afraid that it will be too late, so I calm down and plan to engrave and cast the weapon."
Xu Qingxiao was not reserved and said directly.
"My dear brother, don't be impatient. We have reached the seventh level. You can take your time."
"Now you have to think carefully about what the clear meaning article is and what kind of writing instrument it is made. At this point, there is no need to be too hasty."
Chaoge said seriously, telling Xu Qingxiao not to be in a hurry now and to come back after thinking about it clearly.
"Can it be delayed?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious, after all, she couldn't delay before.
He was also afraid of wasting time, so he hurried back to Li Mansion to rest.
"It doesn't matter. After understanding the meaning, you don't have to be so anxious. The key point is understanding and intention. Before, nourishing the Qi, enlightening the mind, and cultivating the body are all the foundation. When you reach the state of understanding, you can't do this anymore."
Chao Ge replied.
Xu Qingxiao understood that the reason for being anxious before was because it had just been made, and it didn't matter if any cultural artifacts were cast, including engraved articles, because in Confucianism and Taoism, you were just an ignorant child.
But now Mingyi means that you have grown up. When you grow up, you will know what you want. It does not mean that whatever you cast out will definitely suit you.
Suitability is the kingly way.
At this time, Chao Ge continued to speak.
"However, dear brother, there is something you need to pay attention to."
Chao Ge opened his mouth.
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
"Brother, please tell me, my foolish brother will remember it in his heart."
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Since you have practiced Confucianism, you must embark on the official path. The following realms of Confucianism and Daoism are extremely important. It is difficult to rely solely on enlightenment, especially the way of saints. Preaching or establishing a body, preaching requires prestige and extreme learning, and establishing a body
It’s about doing things for the people.”
"If you want to do things for the people, you must have a firm foothold in the court and do things for the people of the world. But now you have offended the great scholar, which is extremely bad for you in the court."
"Furthermore, you are practicing Confucianism and Taoism in the Wei Dynasty. If you go to other places and destroy half of yourself, although the impact is not destructive, it is still very troublesome. It doesn't matter if you don't practice foreign arts, but if you practice foreign arts, you still have to consider yourself.
Say it again."
"Therefore, Brother Yu hopes that Brother Xian will be more cautious and steady in his actions in the future, and not be too radical. Otherwise, if he cannot be promoted to a high position, it will be difficult to become a saint, and it will be difficult to suppress different arts."
Chaoge said seriously.
Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao nodded, he understood what the other party meant.
The last few realms of Confucianism and Taoism are the holy realms, or creating new knowledge, but this is too difficult. Whether people accept it or not is a question.
The only shortcut for future generations to truly become saints is to serve as an official in the court, work for the people of the world, and win the hearts and minds of the people. In this way, the chance of becoming saints will be greater.
Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, I must be more stable. It is okay to offend others, but do not resign or leave unless you have to. After all, I am a citizen of the Wei Dynasty. If I go to work in other countries, will the people of other countries accept me?
"Young brother understands!"
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
"Okay, good brother, just understand."
Chao Ge nodded, and then nothing happened, and Xu Qingxiao said nothing.
"In that case, Brother Yu, please leave first. There are many things to deal with outside, so I won't disturb Brother Chaoge."
Xu Qingxiao said, and at the same time saluted towards Chao Ge.
The latter returned the gift, and Xu Qingxiao disappeared into the Wen Palace.
After leaving Wen Palace.
In the room, Xu Qingxiao opened her eyes and heard soft sounds outside.
It was the voices of Li Xin, Chen Xinghe and others.
Getting off the bed, Xu Qingxiao opened the door and looked at the three of them with a gentle smile on her face.
"I've met Brother Li, I've met Brother Wang, I've met Senior Brother Chen."
The three of them gathered outside the door, talking about some affairs of the imperial court, and did not dare to go in for fear of disturbing themselves.
So Xu Qingxiao walked out directly.
"Junior brother, I have something to tell you, but after you find out, don't be angry."
Chen Xinghe spoke, but at the same time he was afraid that Xu Qingxiao would be angry, so he asked Xu Qingxiao to prepare in advance.
"What's the matter?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious. Now that she knew her intention, logically there shouldn't be any trouble?
Even if Wei Wengong doesn't want to let him go, so what? Xu Qingxiao is confident that the emperor will protect him.
"Junior brother, you look first."
Chen Xinghe didn't say much and handed a notice to Xu Qingxiao.
This is the Zhaowen of the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.
After taking Zhaowen, Xu Qingxiao took a look at it.
With just one glance, Xu Qingxiao read the contents.
At his level, every glance and every line seems a bit insulting.
"knew."
There was no expression on Xu Qingxiao's face, she just said a simple sentence, Got it.
"Brother Xu, aren't you angry?"
"Yes, Brother Xu, if you are angry, you can just say it. It doesn't matter. We are all your people. We won't spread it at all. Just curse a few words."
Li Xin and Wang Ru were a little curious.
They didn't expect that Xu Qingxiao wasn't angry at all after reading Zhao Wen?
"I already guessed what they would do, and it was just as I guessed, not too angry."
"However, please tell me something. Although I, Xu Qingxiao, respects Zhu Sheng, but he has different ways, we will not conspire with each other, we will not give up, and there is no need to think about me. The matter of erecting the statue is too big for me, and I cannot afford it."
Xu Qingxiao said calmly, he didn't care at all.
What the Zhu Sheng lineage does is nothing more than disgusting themselves, describing them as saints, and then describing themselves as a misguided person.
Stage a saint's redemption, whether it succeeds or fails, they will not suffer, and they will all win a good name.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't care either.
To be precise, it's not that I don't care, but that I remember it first.
Sooner or later I have to go to the court, and sooner or later I have to meet this group of people. Instead of fussing and resenting without substance here, it is better to plan well and be prepared.
Wouldn't it be nice to make them all unhappy when they arrive in the capital?
There is no need for a temporary dispute of words.
Take a longer look.
He is world-famous and is fully qualified to fight.
What's more important is that I'm young. Even if I can't defeat these people, wouldn't it be easy to outlast them?
When the time comes, you will be invincible in court.
"Brother Xu is really brave. I admire him."
"Junior brother is worthy of being a junior brother, yes, yes."
The three of them opened their mouths and couldn't help but praise Xu Qingxiao's courage.
"Okay, Brother Li, Brother Wang, and Senior Brother Chen, I plan to write an article and ask the Lord to send someone to the palace. Too many things have happened in the past few days."
"I'm worried that the people will be implicated, so I won't chat for now."
Xu Qingxiao spoke.
This statement from the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty disgusts me.
Then it is necessary for me to go back feeling sick in the court.
Knowing and doing are one.
Just do it if you think of it.
And at this time.
Outside Nanyu Mansion, two figures also shuttled through the mountains at high speed.
