"That's good!" Fusu nodded, no longer delving into the matter.
Of course, we are just not pursuing it for the time being. As for whether old scores will be settled in the future... Fusu's words don't count.
Even if he doesn't turn it over, he can't stop people who are willing to turn it over.
Fu Nian then made a request:
"Your Highness, Fu Nian has one more thing to ask of me."
"Sir, please speak."
"I sincerely request you, Master, to allow Confucianism to continue to retain the original sources of these books, so as to live up to the original purpose of this building."
"Of course." Fusu agreed easily.
The strategy of writing books with the same text is not originally aimed at old books.
As for the book-burning order... hasn't it been officially issued yet?
"But I also hope that sir will grant me a request." Fusu then made a request in turn.
"Xiaoshengxianzhuang has always been a model for scholars and is highly respected by people all over the world."
"I hope that from now on, all the teachers and students of Xiaoshengxian Village will use Xiaozhuan, whether in schoolwork or daily life, and become a role model for the people of the empire."
Fusu was indeed kind. After making the request, he also explained it by the way, saying that he was not forcing others to make things difficult for him:
"Confucianism is a secular knowledge. You may not practice Confucianism, but the implementation of Confucianism must rely on the king."
"Mr. Fu Nian, you should be able to understand what I mean."
Finally, Fusu gave a meaningful reminder.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Si's face changed slightly.
He didn't expect that he deliberately lured Fu Su to the library in order to take advantage of the Confucian family, but in the end he was tricked!
Fusu's words clearly meant to take advantage of Confucianism.
Although Ying Zheng currently has a general impression of Confucianism, Fusu's ideas cannot be ignored. After all, he is the most powerful candidate for the throne.
If Xiaoshengxianzhuang succeeds in joining the imperial court, Li Si will be in trouble.
This is really... shooting yourself in the foot.
Mainly because Li Si did not expect Fusu to be so partial to Confucianism.
Although Fusu studied Confucianism for a period of time under Fu Nian many years ago, after so many years, Fusu never had any contact with Xiaoshengxian Manor.
This caused Li Si to make a misjudgment - he originally thought that Fusu was only slightly partial to Gu Xun due to his personal relationship with Xiaoshengxian Village.
Unexpectedly, Fusu appreciated Confucianism from the bottom of his heart, rather than caring about weak human relationships.
When Li Si secretly thought something was wrong, Fu Nian hesitated for a moment and was about to reply to Fusu.
All he could give was a positive answer.
However, in Fu Nian's opinion, this matter was more difficult than copying books.
Xiaoshengxianzhuang has always been located in the land of Qilu, and has been deeply influenced by Qilu and Lu. Although these two countries are no longer powerful, it has only been a few years since the Qin Dynasty was unified, and it is not enough to shake Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
Habits accumulated over decades or hundreds of years.
Copying books is just time-consuming and labor-intensive, troublesome but not difficult.
In comparison, it is much more difficult to change habits that have lasted for decades.
Otherwise, Fu Nian wouldn't have hesitated.
Zhao Gao suddenly interrupted at this time, interrupting what Fu Nian was about to say:
"Sir, the distinguished guest you invited has arrived."
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Fusu's attention was indeed attracted, and Fu Nian had to swallow his words for the time being.
"Really? Very good!" Fusu nodded, walked out from behind the desk, then took a few steps toward Fu Nian and said with a smile, "Mr. Fu Nian, I heard that Li Xiangguo visited last time
When I was there, I had a debate contest with Guizhuang, which was quite interesting."
"Confucianism also cultivates the six arts. The three heroes of Qi and Lu are not only outstanding in knowledge, but also world-famous masters of swordsmanship."
"Since Li Xiangguo came to compete in literary and moral education last time, today, I would like to have a sword discussion. What do you think, Mr. Fu Nian?"
This is equivalent to not asking whether Fu Nian can refuse.
After three sword trials, it was settled.
As for Fusu's request just now, everyone tacitly ignored it.
Fu Nian didn't want to agree to it in the first place, so he could be vague about it.
Zhao Gaolisi and others did not want to see Fusu and Confucianism come together completely, so they interrupted Fu Nian. As long as the matter was not completely settled, they would still have room to stop it in the future.
But Fusu didn't mention it because he was not in a hurry.
This visit is still too early to end, so there is no need to rush. It is better to deal with the projects that Li Si and Zhao Gao are more concerned about first, so as to save them from being restless.
After the matter of discussing Tao with swords was settled, the group left the library and headed towards the Kendo Hall of Xiaoshengxian Manor.
It is the place where the students of Xiaoshengxian Village practice martial arts, and it is also the most suitable place for competition.
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai City, in the heart of the mountain, lies the Prison of Teeth.
In the bottom prison of Tooth-gnawing Prison, Thief Zhi was still tied up like a rice dumpling, leaning against the cage in a daze.
The guards below were still patrolling back and forth absentmindedly.
At this time, there were some faint noises outside, alerting the guards who were still distracted.
"Something seems to have happened outside?" Thief Zhi probably heard the noise, and he put his head over to talk to the guard.
The guard ignored him as usual and cautiously approached the gate.
Only then did he finally hear what was happening outside - it was screams!
After hearing the short, faint screams, the guard's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little unsure whether he should go out to see the situation or stick to the prison.
Fortunately, he won't have to worry about it soon.
Before he could think about it, the door suddenly opened with a clang from the outside. However, there was no one in the corridor outside, and the screams had disappeared. It seemed that it was just his illusion.
Thieves Zhi then said with a smile, "It seems my friend has arrived."
These words made the guard even more frightened, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him. When he turned around again, a man with white hair, fierce eyes, and wearing a dark coat suddenly occupied his entire sight - two people
The distance between people is estimated to be less than two fists.
The sudden change made the guard, who was already frightened, scream in fright, stumbled back in panic, and fell to the ground.
Thief Zhi in the cage stood up with a smile at this time. The strong chains tied to his body had been untied by him at some point, leaving only the shackles that tied his hands behind his back.
This didn't bother Taizhi, he turned his hands behind his back and twisted his wrists a few times, and he took it off in a daze.
Otherwise, he is the king of thieves, and the special shackles given to him by the Shadow Guard are still of no use.
After moving his arms twice, Tao Zhi said cheerfully, "I didn't expect that Zifang actually persuaded you two to take action. It seems that he still cares about me as a friend!"
"By the way, I am lucky to see Zongheng join forces."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lock of the cage was opened by him.
Wei Zhuang ignored him and stabbed the trembling guard to death as he got up from the ground.
Upon seeing this, Bandit Zhi quickly turned over and stood directly in front of the guard at the critical moment.
"Xiao Zhuang!"
Amid Gai Nie's dissuasion, the tip of Wei Zhuang's shark-tooth sword stopped just in time at Bandit Zhi's throat.
