In fact, the reason why Gai Nie said this is actually very simple, and it is similar to the situation of Fu Nian and others.
It is easy for Ge Nie to deal with Gongsun Linglong with sophistry.
At that time, many experts from hundreds of schools tried to refute Gongsun Long from different angles, but he defused them one by one, and even turned against him.
But that was Gongsun Long, a great sage whom scholars from hundreds of schools of thought would still address as "Zi" even if they didn't like him. He was not a junior who could only pick up the wisdom of his ancestors.
Using the theory that a white horse is not a horse as a spear, the offensiveness of the two cannot be compared at all.
However, as Gai Nie is the successor of Guigu Zongjian and a majestic swordsman of the empire, he really cannot afford to lose this person.
You must know that Guigu disciples have never lacked those who are eloquent. Basically, every generation of disciples try their best to deceive people with their words.
But when Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others deceived, they also deceived the kings of various countries and the princes. It stirred up the general trend of the world, set off turbulent waves, and caused the rise and fall of kingdoms.
And he Gai Nie went to deal with an ugly woman from a famous family just to win a meaningless argument... He really couldn't afford to embarrass this person, even if Gai Nie was not a good-looking person.
In other words, it is precisely because he has no face that he will simply admit defeat and bring him down.
For Gao Nie's answer, Gao Jianli and others with relatively normal brains all know it, and there may be some reasons hidden in it that they don't understand.
Anyway, they all felt that Guigu Zongheng would not give up to a famous junior so easily.
Only Sledgehammer was more naive...or rather, Chengcheng took a breath of air and said in surprise, "Hiss...can't even Mr. Gai do anything to her? This woman is really so talkative..."
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Before Sledgehammer could finish his words, Tao Zhi's strange eyes attracted his attention.
Although he didn't quite understand what that look meant, he felt it wasn't a good thing, so he angrily asked the other person.
"...It's nothing, just shut up. I haven't finished what I'm going to say yet." Tao Zhi looked back at the fool and then changed the subject.
………………
Confucianism, Xiaoshengxian Village, Back Mountain Bamboo Forest House.
Gu Xun raised the teapot with his hand, filled Xunzi's and his own cups with tea, and said:
"Among the people traveling with Li Si today, there is a famous debate genius."
"Haha..." Xunzi smiled inexplicably, with a hint of vague ridicule and disdain on his old and kind face.
"Celebrity? Debate? Genius?"
"I can't imagine these three words, how can they be combined together?"
Gu Xun couldn't help but grin when he heard this, wanting to laugh a little.
As expected of a famous troll in the pre-Qin Dynasty, he had a very bad mouth. If he said this in front of Gongsun Linglong, I would not be able to make the always conceited fat woman's eyes sparkle with anger.
"That's what I say, but I'm afraid none of the younger generation of Confucian disciples can be her opponent."
Xunzi took a sip of tea nonchalantly, "Fu Nian became the leader, and even the juniors under his disciples became idiots who were unwilling to study."
"They care about face, so naturally they can't compare to those who are shameless."
"...Pfft!" Gu Xun opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a moment, but laughed out loud.
"Senior seems to have a lot of prejudice against famous people...?"
Xunzi replied calmly, "The imperial master should know very clearly what my temper was in my early years."
"As an outlier in Confucianism, I have faced hundreds of scholars—even various criticisms from within Confucianism. The so-called debate is the least worth mentioning. However, no matter which school or faction I argue with, I win.
Even if you fail, you can always gain something."
"Only famous people...not only waste time, but also ruin your mood!"
"I should strictly abide by Confucian rules and ignore famous people!"
Gu Xun grinned, trying his best to control his facial muscles not to laugh, and continued laughing uncontrollably:
"So, senior has acquiesced that Confucianism will lose first in this round?"
"Why should the Imperial Master ask questions knowingly?"
p>
"The younger member of the Gongsun family, Zifang will be able to handle it."
Fu Nian and Yan Lu might be caught off guard and take advantage of Gongsun Linglong, but Zhang Liang would not.
Xunzi could come to this conclusion even if he didn't know any information.
"Well... Zifang, of course, has this ability." Gu Xun smiled and nodded, "But his approach may not be accepted by Head Fu Nian to a large extent, and... it also violates Confucian rules.
”
"Rules..." Xunzi's old voice repeated the word, "What can Confucians do if they abide by the rules?"
"The disciples taught under Confucian rules have become the most deadly threat to Confucianism today!"
"Besides...I am just a retired old man now. The head of the Confucian school is Fu Nian, so he should make the decision on everything."
"Uh..."
I remember in the plot, weren't you the one who stopped Fu Nian from punishing Zhang Liang...
The old man doesn’t mean what he says!
Gu Xun slandered a few words, but did not say them out loud. Instead, he continued the previous topic, "So... senior, aren't you worried at all?"
Xunzi put down the teacup, stretched his straight back, and replied in a deep voice, "Heaven moves in its order..."
"I'm not worried about the future of Confucianism."
"In comparison, I am more curious about what you think, Imperial Master?"
"What do you think?" Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What do you mean, senior?"
"Huh..." Xunzi blew into the tea cup, then took a sip, and then replied, "Some time ago, the news of the fall of the Mohist headquarters, the organ city, spread all over the world, and the world was abuzz for a while." "If the news is not exaggerated, I think the empire should have received help from Liusha in this operation... Are you helping the empire deal with Fang Zibaijia?"
"Or should I say, you are fighting against Fangzibaijia!"
In the following sentence, Xunzi directly changed to an affirmative tone.
"This...can't I do this?" Gu Xun didn't care that his plan was seen through, and asked with a smile.
Unlike Li Si, he did not come from any one school, so how would he compare to Fangzi Baijia?
It’s not like deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor.
"Of course." Xunzi didn't seem that worried about this matter, and his expression was very calm, "I'm just surprised. From what I know about you, you don't seem like someone who would do such a thing."
Xunzi didn't know much about Gu Xun, but he really didn't find any qualities in him that fit an ambitious man - except for his outstanding ability.
Xunzi felt that his tricks were generally correct.
But the fact is that Liusha has grown stronger over the years under the leadership of Gu Xun, and today it has officially begun to attack various schools of thought.
